When the luxury get away Doesn’t go as planned
Have you been injured while on a Silversea Cruise Ship? At Delgado Trial Attorneys, we have been fighting for the rights of injured the injured including cruise ship passengers and their families for over a combined 50 years. Cruise lines are responsible for passenger injuries that occur both on and off the ship. If you have been injured while on a Silversea cruise, Delgado Trial Attorneys is committed to holding the cruise line accountable for your injuries.
Silversea Cruises was founded in 1994 by an Italian legal scholar and maritime law professor, Antonio Lefebvre. It was Lefebvre’s hope that the creation of Silversea Cruises would open up a new class of elite cruising. He wanted to give a smaller number of passengers more space, allowing them to experience luxury not seen before.
Silversea Cruises was purchased by Royal Caribbean Group in 2018. In fact, it ended up replacing their high end cruise line Azamara that catered to the luxury cruise market.
Azamara was sold to private investors in 2020 after it was deemed to be redundant by corporate parent Royal Caribbean Group following a restructuring early on during the early stages of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.
Before the acquisition by Royal Caribbean, Silversea was based in the principality of Monaco on the French Riviera. Destinations for Silversea cruises include the Galapagos Islands, Russian Far East, New Zealand, and South America.
Silversea Cruises have grown their fleet from four ships to ten. Their fleet includes the following vessels:
If you have been injured while onboard a Silversea cruise ship, it is important to know what rights you have when it comes to filing a claim for your injuries. Lawsuits against Silversea Cruises must be filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, located in Ft. Lauderdale, Broward County.
Time is of the essence, when filing a lawsuit against a major cruise line like Silversea. Passengers have just one year from the date of the incident to file a claim. It is important that you hire an attorney experienced in handling cruise injuries in order to successfully recover damages to compensate for an injury sustained while aboard a Silversea cruise ship.
Passengers who are injured while on a Silversea cruise ship, tender, or in port should seek immediate medical attention for their injuries and should promptly report the incident. Many times, cruise lines count on passengers not reporting, and they will use the defense of “lack of reported incident” to fight a claim that is later filed.
Some of the most common accidents that occur on cruise ships include:
Major cruise lines, like Silversea Cruise Line owe their passengers a duty of care. This duty of care includes: (1) providing a reasonable amount of security against physical harm, including criminal activity and assault; and (2) they must ensure that the ship and the equipment are in reasonable working condition, and its crew, are adequately trained to perform their assigned tasks respectfully.
Cruise lines can be negligent for accidents and passenger injuries that occur both on board and on shore in a foreign port of call. If you have been injured while traveling on a Silversea 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 RCCL involve people who have slipped or tripped and fallen on the ship on staircases, open decks exposed to the weather like the sun decks, 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:
