Cruise lines make significant efforts to keep their passengers happy. However, the cruise ship injures a passenger, the attitude abruptly changes.  The company then moves to protect itself and ensure you receive nothing but a headache for your injuries.

Reasonable Care

Cruise ship companies have a legal obligation to you, the passenger. In fact, federal maritime requires the company to give aid. However, each claim is different. But what remains the same is every ship must be clear of any slip, fall, and trip dangers. Plus, a ship must commit to the quality maintenance of the equipment aboard. This is reasonable care.

Cruise Ships Won’t Protect You

Cruise Ship InjuryPast employees and complex litigation experts like those at The Michael Brady Lynch Firm know that as soon as an injury happens, the cruise lines go into an adversarial mode. The company wants to protect themselves not you. This means the first thing to happen is a security officer on board will take the injured passenger’s statement. However, the questions asked could help the defend the cruise line in court, not you. For example, the officer could ask what the passenger could have done to avoid the incident that led to the injury. It is important to note that right after an accident, it probably not the best time to answer questions.
Then, if a passenger attempts to seek compensation, the cruise line will push for the case to be in federal court. This will make it difficult for the passenger since there is a higher standard of evidence. Plus, the judges can be stricter. This makes proving an injury difficult without proper representation.
