Taking a cruise is meant to be relaxing, and it can be the adventure of a lifetime. However, if you’re the victim of an injury aboard a cruise ship, you need our representation. Although cruise ships have a duty of care to their passengers and crew, their first priority is protecting their bottom line. As such, cruise lines may not want to pay for the damages their cruise ships inspire. Further, maritime law can play into cruise ship injury claims, which makes them more difficult to litigate than other personal injury cases.
At The Voorhies Law Firm, our team of legal professionals is ready to go to bat for you. As ship accident attorneys, we are familiar with the statutes and maritime regulations involved in your case. We will adhere to all applicable rules and timelines to help ensure you have a winning claim.
There are many variables to consider when you’re injured, and many of these factors can create financial difficulties. If you are facing medical bills or missed days at work, we will help you recover the appropriate compensation and be by your side every step of the way. If your injuries were caused by the negligence of cruise ship employees or the cruise line itself, you should not have to suffer the consequences on your own.
When you think of taking a cruise, you may not be aware of the dangers that exist. Ships provide plenty of opportunities to trip, fall, or hit your head, especially during foul weather. Like any other public space, cruise ships can also be the site of violent incidents. Additionally, you may become ill from food poisoning or a highly contagious virus. Many cruise ships also offer stops and activities onshore, which means you could be involved in an accident while you’re on a company excursion.
No matter what kind of injury you sustain, don’t allow the cruise line and its and insurance company to force you into an inadequate settlement. You need a lawyer to fight for your rights and full compensation to cover your pain and suffering, missed time at work, and other losses.
