A growing trend among cruise ship injury inquiries are claims of neglect related to medical care.
Passengers who were treated by onboard medical staff, doctors and nurses are increasingly seeking out the advice of cruise ship lawyers wanting to know if the cruise line’s doctors made a mistake – and whether they can file a lawsuit against the cruise lines for the those doctor’s mistakes.
Typical scenarios where cruise ship medical staff may be at fault include:
>> Not recognizing symptoms
>> Misdiagnosing medical symptoms
>> Failing to act correctly once a diagnosis has been made
>> Failing to act in time
>> Doing medical procedures incorrectly
The reality is that medical claims against the cruise line – or even directly against the doctor or medical staff – are often complex making it difficult to receive compensation for injuries.
If you or a loved one has questions about medical treatment received during a cruise, speaking with an attorney is a good choice. They can provide insight and direction after reviewing the details of your incident.
