Cruise Lines Have Complex Legal Liabilities and Duties

Cruise lines operate on international waters, and the companies that run them are often incorporated in foreign jurisdictions. For example, Carnival Sensation, Carnival Splendor, and Carnival Breeze vessels are flagged pursuant to Panamanian and Bahamian law. This means that the cruise ship you are boarding and deboarding from in the United States may not have to abide by all of the laws of the United States while you are on a cruise. That said, getting just compensation after being victimized can be confusing and difficult. This is why it’s important to discuss your legal options with a cruise ship crime victim lawyer.

The Cruise Line Has A Duty to Provide A Secure Environment For Guests

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.
