An attorney with us has handled injury claim cases in Seattle that involve sexual assault. You have a right to seek physical and emotional damages against the perpetrator in civil court and you may also be entitled to compensation from the cruise line. Your trip on a cruise ship should not be dangerous and the cruise line company has a responsibility to keep passengers safe.
