Cruise lines are responsible for passenger injuries that occur both on and off the ship. If you have been injured while traveling on a Carnival Cruises ship, Delgado Trial Attorneys is committed to holding the cruise line accountable for your injuries. In fact, we urge anyone who has been involved in an accident during a cruise to consult with an experienced cruise ship injury lawyer before the time periods in the ticket contracts run out. 

Important evidence such as the identity of crewmember witnesses, CCTV footage of the incident, data on marine and oceanographic conditions including wind speeds and wave height, and the frequency of ships being refurbished in dry dock renovations can limit the amount of evidence as more time passes after the incident.

Typically, some of the the most common cases against Carnival involve people who have slipped or tripped  and fallen on the ship on staircases, open decks exposed to the weather like the  Lido deck, around the swimming pools, even in their cabins and the buffet lines. Getting hurt onboard a ship is often very expensive and medical bills can tally into the six figures, in addition to past and future lost wages. They also lose the value of their vacation and endure months or even years of pain and suffering.

Injuries sustained on a cruise ship, must be thoroughly documented. Immediately after the accident occurs, doing the following can help maximize your recovery:

• Photograph the scene of the accident.
• Inform crew members.
• Record the names of witnesses.
• Seek immediate medical attention.
• Request a copy of medical records.
