Cruise ship injury cases are governed by maritime law and typically require filing suit in specific federal courts — often far from Utah. Cruise tickets also contain fine-print contractual provisions that limit where and how lawsuits can be filed, and they impose short notice deadlines that can bar your claim if missed. If you were injured on a cruise ship, contact us immediately.
Unique Rules in Maritime Cases
Maritime law (admiralty law) governs incidents at sea. Cruise tickets typically require lawsuits to be filed in a specific jurisdiction (often Miami or Los Angeles) within tight time limits — sometimes as short as six months after the incident. Missing these deadlines can permanently bar your claim. We know maritime law and we move quickly.
Types of Cruise Ship Injuries
Slip-and-fall accidents on wet decks, excursion injuries, foodborne illness, assaults by crew or other passengers, swimming pool accidents, gangway falls, and medical negligence aboard the ship are all situations where the cruise line may be liable for your injuries.
Frequently Asked Questions
