Is the cruise line responsible for my injuries?
Do I Really Have a Case?
“Can I sue the cruise line for my injuries?” It’s a question we’re asked every day. The answer is, “it depends.” Not every accident that happens on a cruise ship is the fault of the cruise line or its employees. But some are.
If you get hurt while on a cruise and are hoping to be compensated for your injuries, you will have to prove that the negligent actions of the cruise line or its crewmembers were to blame for your injuries. If so, the cruise line may be responsible.
Negligence means that the cruise line failed to act with ‘reasonable care’ for your safety, and because of their actions (or inaction), you were hurt. Confused? We can help.
With a simple phone call, we can provide answers to all of your questions, determine if you do have the ability to file an injury claim, and if you do, what the ‘next steps’ should be. Contact our office today.

What does it take to sue a Cruise Line?
When you contact our firm, we’ll spend time with you to better understand the details of your injury so we can determine if you have a case.
Some of those questions we will ask you include:
- How did the accident happen?
- Where did it happen?
- What happened after the accident?
- Who was involved?
- What is the extent of your injury?
- What treatment have you had so far and what future medical needs do you have?
These are just a few of the many questions we’ll ask. And remember, we’re here to answer your questions too. Together we can work through the specific details of your case.
If we determine you have the ability to file a lawsuit against the cruise line, we can represent you during the entire legal process. That means we’ll deal with the paperwork, the phone calls, the insurance claim adjustors, the cruise line representatives and all of the other details involved.
