Cruise Ship Accident Attorney in Orange County

Accidents on Cruise Ships

Who hasn't dreamed of a cruise vacation filled with exotic destinations and dreamy ocean scenery? The boats are floating islands loaded with food, fun and relaxation. Unfortunately, cruises can also be a breeding ground for germs and disease. Their travel between international ports and extensive passenger capacities allow a free-flow of bacteria and viruses from one person to another. Aside from microorganisms, cruise ships have been known to injure people in a multitude of other ways, including fires, swimming pool accidents, slip and falls and more.

While we all wish these incidents were rare, they are, unfortunately, common occurrences. Up to 40% of cruise ship passengers admit to feeling nauseated on board. While this is sometimes no more than sea sickness, food poisoning and illnesses are all too common on these vessels.

Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of cruise ship instances is that the companies that own these lines frequently try to distance themselves from the problems as much as possible. Additionally, your case may be complicated by international maritime laws or those of the country you visited. In all of these situations, it is important to contact an Orange County personal injury attorney to represent you against the cruise line.
