What type of cruise accidents can you claim for?

As long as your injury was caused by a fault on the part of the cruise ship operator, you can bring a claim for compensation. Your cruise ship operator has a duty of care to ensure that you are protected from risk of harm.

This means that if your accident took place on the cruise ship at sea or whilst embarking or disembarking the ship your cruise operator may be liable.

Some of the most common causes of accidents on board cruise ships are:

Slips, trips or falls (either on deck or in dining areas)
Accidents around the cruise ship swimming pool
Accidents caused by collisions

No matter what the cause of your cruise accident, the expert solicitors at YourHolidayClaims can quickly offer advice on whether you may be entitled to make a no win no fee cruise ship injury claim.

What should you do after suffering a cruise ship accident?

The first thing you should always do is seek medical attention. Your cruise ship will have medical staff on board to offer initial treatment and advice.

Once you have received the medical treatment you need, report your accident to staff and ask for a copy of their accident report.

This can be used as evidence of your accident if you wish to pursue a claim on your return home.

How much evidence do you need?

We would recommend that you speak to anyone who witnessed the accident and ask if they would be willing to provide a statement.

If you can, take photos of where the accident occurred and any injuries you have sustained as a result.

You should also keep the receipts of any medical treatment you have paid as you can receive compensation for this when you bring your claim.
