Cruiseship Liability

The very same injuries that can occur on dry land can occur on cruise ships: slip and falls, falling objects, you name it. In addition, crime also occurs aboard cruise ships - some of it committed by passengers and much by cruise ship crew members. A great deal of high seas crime is property related, i.e., theft. However, of great concern, the U.S. Attorney General's office in Miami is now reporting that three out of every four crimes on cruise ships reported in Miami are sexual offenses and most involve young women under age 21. If you or a loved one has fallen victim to a crime or suffered an injury while on board a cruise ship, we want to help.
