It’s unfortunate, but accidents and injuries happen on Royal Caribbean Cruise Ships more often than most people realize.
With 23 cruise ships and millions of passengers each year, accidents are bound to occur around the pool, in restaurants, in cabins and other areas of the cruise ship. Some are simply “just accidents” and others are caused because of the negligent actions of the cruise line or its crew members.
Royal Caribbean Cruise slip and fall injuries often include:
- Head injuries and concussions
- Knee injuries
- Back injuries, slipped disks, herniated disks, etc.
- Broken bones – fingers, wrists, arms, legs, ankles
- Internal injuries
Many of these injuries can be quite serious, involving visits to doctors and hospitals, complicated medical procedures, surgery and rehabilitation. They can also involve troubles with insurance claims and missed time at work (equaling missed salary or earning potential).
If you’ve been injured while sailing with Royal Caribbean and believe that your injury was sustained due to the negligence of the crew, the cruise line or even a fellow passenger, you may have a potential claim.
