Cruise Ship Trip & Fall Lawyer

In circumstances involving transitory conditions such as a screw protruding up from the flooring or a dropped item on the floor, the injured passenger bears the burden of proving that the cruise line either knew or should have known of the hazardous condition. This is often shown by presenting evidence that the hazard existed for a sufficient amount of time that would place a reasonably cruise operator on notice of the hazard or that the cruise line in fact had notice of the hazard yet did nothing to rectify the condition.

This evidence is usually in the form of surveillance video, testimony of others who passed through the area in the hours before the accident and noticed the hazard or even records kept in the cruise line’s ordinary course of business. Our lawyers tirelessly seek out all evidence necessary to prove our clients’ cases and routinely travel throughout the United States and the world to obtain needed testimony to establish the elements of our clients’ claims.
