Cruise Ship Injuries
Passengers And Crew Injured
In Accidents Aboard Cruise Ships
The lesson you want to take away from reading these injury cases is learned after reading the most common thread between them. Nearly all these cases resulted in a Medevac to a port that was different the port the passengers embarked from.
Frequently these Medevacs are in foreign lands and require payment up front or at minimum before the patient and their family is permitted to leave. There are high costs incurred for these preventable incidents and that cost may be far beyond the ability of the family to pay.
In some casesd, the injury is a result of cruise ship negligence. Only a qualified cruise ship lawyer or maritime attorney can determine if there was cruise line negligence involved and a settlement can be attained to pay the expense of your treatment and other related costs and damages.
These facts need to be considered before sailing to foreign lands as well as before sailing at all. In addition to leaving the ship mid-voyage, the hospital expenses in a foreign land and the cost of getting back home, there is the cost associated with the medical treatment received before being removed from the ship at the next port-of-call or via Medevac.
