Cruises are supposed to be about relaxation and adventure — not injury and medical bills. Unfortunately, accidents on cruise ships happen more often than you might think, and cruise lines are quick to deny responsibility. At Davalos Legal, we stand with passengers and crew members injured at sea. Attorney Jonny Davalos — your Law Hero — fights to hold cruise companies accountable and get you the compensation you deserve.
Common Types of Cruise Ship Accidents
Injuries at sea can happen in many ways, including:
- Slip and falls on wet decks or poorly maintained areas
- Food poisoning from contaminated meals
- Onboard assaults due to negligent security
- Excursion-related injuries during port activities
- Swimming pool accidents
- Fires or mechanical malfunctions
- Medical malpractice from ship doctors
Cruise companies must maintain safe conditions — and when they fail, they can be held legally responsible.
Special Rules for Cruise Ship Injury Claims
Cruise injury cases are very different from normal accident claims:
- You usually must file the claim within one year (not the normal 2–4 years for other injuries).
- Your lawsuit may need to be filed in a specific location, like Miami, regardless of where the ship was at the time.
- Your cruise ticket (fine print) may limit where, how, and when you can sue.
That’s why you must act fast and work with a lawyer who understands maritime law.
Who Can Bring a Cruise Ship Injury Claim?
You may have a claim if you are:
- A passenger injured on board
- A passenger injured during a cruise-organized excursion
- A crew member injured while working (Jones Act claims)
Whether you were on a quick Bahamas getaway or a long international cruise, you have rights.
