Cruise Ship Injury Lawyer Miami, Broward, Palm Beach
The cruise industry is quite popular in Florida. Millions of Americans go on cruise ships each year to vacation, party, gamble, and sightsee. Passengers assume they’ll be perfectly safe on a cruise ship because they put their faith and trust in the crew members to eliminate all hazardous conditions.
American cruise lines can be held liable if any of their passengers get sick or injured while on their ships. It doesn’t matter if the incidents occur on international waters either because American courts still govern American companies. As a result, any injured cruise line passenger can sue the company in court for negligence.

When Do You Need to Hire a Cruise Ship Injury Lawyer?
Cruise lines are responsible for maintaining a clean and safe environment for their passengers. These primary maintenance duties require them to eliminate all potential accident risks, such as slippery decks, contaminated food, and a lack of lifeguards. If a passenger were to get injured on a cruise ship due to a preventable accident, the cruise line would be liable for damages.
Slip and fall accidents are the most common types of accidents on cruise ships that result in passenger injuries. These accidents could be due to slippery decks, poor lighting, damaged stair railings, ship construction defects, or intense ship swaying. Any of these reasons would be grounds to sue the cruise line for negligence if you get injured from it.
The amount of compensation you can seek depends on a couple of factors. First, the most significant factor is the severity of the injury or sickness you incurred on the cruise ship. Second, the level of negligence from the staff which ended up causing the accident. Thirdly, the level of medical malpractice when you seek treatment from the cruise ship’s medical staff.
Every cruise ship must be equipped with the necessary medical staff and resources to provide basic care to passengers who need it. For example, suppose a passenger has a severe injury or illness which requires treatment at a medical facility. In that case, the maritime law requires the cruise ship to change course and travel to the nearest land with a medical facility nearby. Failure to follow this rule could mean a higher amount of compensation owed to the passenger if a claim is filed.
Of course, you should not represent yourself in this matter. Hiring a cruise ship injury lawyer would be better when filing a personal injury claim against the cruise line. Then you can have peace of mind knowing that true legal professionals are representing you in this case.
