New York Cruise Ship Accident Attorneys

NY Auto Accident Injury Attorneys

Cruise ships are becoming an increasingly popular vacation getaway for people around the world. The cruise ship industry brings in billions of dollars a year. Despite its success, cruise lines have recently come under fire because of cruise ship accidents onboard.

Passengers have become ill because of poor sanitation, and some have suffered personal injury from lack of security or safety precautions.

Common cruise ship accidents include:

• Assault by crew members or other passengers
• Food poisoning
• Sexual battery
• Slip and falls
• Trip and falls
• Injuries on excursions

Cruise ship lines have a responsibility to make sure there are no dangerous conditions on board that can cause serious injury to its passengers. When cruise ship accidents occur because of poor maintenance, incompetent staff members, or improperly trained employees, the cruise ship owners can be held legally responsible for negligence.

Victims of cruise ship accidents may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. If you were a passenger and were injured on any ship, please contact the New York personal injury attorneys of Goidel and Siegel for a free consultation.
