Cruise Passenger Injuries and Illnesses
Many of our clients are cruise ship passengers who got hurt or sick while on vacation. While cruise ships should be safe places where passengers can relax, enjoy life and forget their problems, the reality is that many cruise lines fail to do what is necessary to protect their customers. For example, we handle cases involving injuries and illnesses resulting from:
- Gangway and tender accidents
- Automatic door accidents
- Slips, trips, and falls onboard
- Falls overboard
- Pool, waterslide, and FlowRider accidents
- Climbing wall, playground, and other onboard activity accidents
- Physical assaults by passengers and crew members
- Medical malpractice in cruise ship infirmaries
- Excursion accidents
- Weather and sea-related accidents
- Exposure to harmful viruses and bacteria (including food poisoning and COVID-19)
As a cruise ship passenger (or as the parent, spouse, or child of a cruise ship passenger), you have clear legal rights under maritime law. When you hire a Florida cruise ship injury lawyer at Brais Law Firm, your lawyer will explain everything you need to know, and your lawyer will do everything necessary to recover just compensation on your behalf.
