Experience and Expertise You Need from a Cruise Ship Accident Lawyer
At VanDerGinst Law, our cruise ship accident lawyers are dedicated to representing passengers and crew members who have been seriously injured aboard cruise ships due to negligence or unsafe conditions.
Cruise vacations are meant to be relaxing and enjoyable—but when safety is compromised, the consequences can be devastating. Injuries sustained at sea or in port can lead to mounting medical bills, lost wages, and long-term health challenges. If you’ve been hurt on a cruise, you may have the right to pursue compensation under maritime and admiralty law—but these cases can be complex and time-sensitive.
Our experienced personal injury attorneys are ready to help. Call us today for a free consultation and let us protect your rights.
Finding the Best Lawyer After a Cruise Ship Accident
Cruise ship injuries can happen anywhere on board or during excursions. These incidents are often the result of:
- Unsafe or slippery deck surfaces
- Onboard medical malpractice
- Elevator or staircase accidents
- Inadequate security leading to assault or harassment
- Foodborne illness or unsanitary conditions
- Accidents during shore excursions
- Negligent hiring or training of crew members
Cruise lines often try to limit their liability through fine-print ticket contracts, strict reporting requirements, and short time windows for filing a claim. That’s why it’s crucial to work with a cruise accident attorney who understands the legal complexities involved and can move quickly on your behalf.
