Cruise Ship Crime Victims

If you are the victim of an assault or a robbery, you might think that the only party to blame is the individual who directly engaged in the assault or robbery and caused you harm.

While in some situations this might be true, when you are a guest or employee on a cruise, the cruise line has a duty to maintain a safe and well-managed environment.

When passengers on cruises experience physical or financial harm due to negligent security or other causes within their control, the cruise line itself may be liable for the harm experienced by the passengers. Accordingly, you can collect compensation from a party when your injuries happened because of their negligence. Negligence is a complex legal term that your attorney will carefully apply the evidence to in order to win your claim or case and recover damages.
