Claims of Injury or Death

Our firm handles all kinds of claims arising out of accidents, illnesses, and deaths that occur on a Cunard Line cruise ship. If our Cunard Line injury attorneys can establish liability in connection with a passenger’s claim, general maritime law will usually require damages like lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering to be paid.

If a loved one dies as a result of Cunard Line’s negligence, it may be possible to obtain compensation under the Death on the High Seas Act, the Jones Act, or another law. To show negligence under general maritime law, you will need to show the cruise ship’s duty of reasonable care under the circumstances, a breach, causation, and damages.

Intentional misconduct is treated differently. When, for example, a crew member rapes or sexually assaults a passenger, a cruise line can be held strictly liable, even if the cruise line did not know of the crew member’s propensity to commit the crime and did not have a chance to stop the attack.
