Have you got injured on a cruise ship due to the negligence of the cruise staff? If so, then the cruise line can be held accountable in the court under the maritime law for their negligence. Whether you are a passenger or a crew member, if you get injured on a cruise ship, yacht, or other vessel, then you’re entitled to get compensation. If your injury is a result of the negligence or carelessness of the cruise line, you can file a claim or lawsuit to obtain compensation for your medical treatment and lost income. It is the responsibility of the cruise line and their crew on the ship to ensure the safety of their passengers. But when the cruise line fails to uphold this duty, and a passenger is injured from a slip-and-fall accident, fall from broken or loose handrail, other dangerous premise conditions, or food poisoning, then they can be found liable.
At P&M Personal Injury Law, we have years of experience in representing cruise ship passengers who got injured nationally or internationally. However, if you fail to file a lawsuit against the cruise line within a specified period of time, you might lose your rights to recover for damages. When injured passengers try to get compensation for their losses, they often face difficulties due to the reluctance on behalf of the cruise line or its parent company. In most cases, cruise lines prefer to settle the claim out of court without involving an attorney. When this happens, the insurance company tries every possible trick to offer you a settlement far below the true value of your claim. But professional personal injury lawyers like us make sure that passengers get justly compensated.
We make sure that cruise lines are held accountable for their poor safety protocols, sloppy staff hiring, and training practices, cost-cutting at the expense of passenger safety, and other acts of carelessness. We have extensive experience with cases involving cruise ship accidents. Our team is qualified enough to investigate your case and build a strong argument against the responsible party/ parties.
