Types of Cruise Ship Accidents Common on Carnival Cruise Lines

Whether or not you see your accident or the cause of your injuries listed above, contact our law firm as soon as possible to schedule a free consultation with a member of our award-winning team. No two accidents are alike, which is why working with an experienced maritime attorney is so essential: approaching each case with fresh eyes is essential to ensuring that each damage is identified, calculated, and fought for.

Your Time To File Suit Against Carnival Is Limited

The statute of limitations for most maritime injuries is three years from the date of the accident. However, disclaimers in most cruise ship tickets narrow that time to one year for passengers. This also includes a 6-month notice provision. This means that you need to act quickly to preserve your rights. It is important to speak with a cruise ship accident attorney as soon as possible after your accident so that you can make sure to file your claim on time.

Suing Carnival Cruise Line

What to Look for in a Carnival Cruise Lines Lawyer

Cruising is a billion-dollar industry, which means that cruise lines have deep pockets to fight lawsuits and decades of experience handling liability claims against them. Cruise lines also have many tactics for avoiding liability, such as adding extensive disclaimers to their tickets. Add to that the fact that maritime law governs most lawsuits relating to cruise ships, and you’re left with a highly complex area of law.

You Deserve Safety and Security on Any Carnival Cruise Ship

No matter the ship and the destination, every passenger and crew member is entitled to the ship to be reasonably safe for them. If there is a failure on the part of Carnival Cruise Line to offer a safe traveling environment, both on the ship and off, crew members and passengers may pursue a claim for damages.

Simply stated, a cruise line must provide reasonable care under the circumstances. So whether it is a wet floor, a broken lounge chair, or a dangerous shore excursion, the analysis for liability is often similar: Did the cruise line act reasonably under the circumstances?
