Cruise ship accident injury claim lawyers.

Am I Eligible to Make a Cruise Ship Injury Claim?

You may be eligible for a cruise ship claim if you’ve been injured, ill or harmed on a cruise. Cruise lines have a duty of care to keep passengers safe, and if they fail to meet that standard, they can be held legally liable.

Your eligibility also depends on you being able to prove the following:

• The boat operator had a duty of care to keep you safe while on board, meaning they were responsible for taking reasonable steps to prevent foreseeable harm.
• They failed to meet that duty through reckless behaviour, negligence or inadequate safety measures.
• Your injury was caused by their failure to meet that duty.

At Wyatts, our public liability lawyers have helped many clients prove the owner of the cruise ship was responsible for their injuries. We aim to get maximum compensation for their pain and suffering.

Sexual assault claims on a cruise ship
