When you go on a cruise adventure, the last thing you’d expect is to get sick. This is something that can not only put a damper on your fun and the entire trip, forcing you to spend your days in your cabin, but it can also lead to severe health complications that may set you back thousands of dollars. Many times, clients ask us “can I sue if I got sick on a cruise ship?” This is a loaded question in the sense that there has to be something called negligence in order to have a valid claim. That is to say, was the cruise ship crew or management negligent in some way, and was this negligence the proximate cause of your illness? This is because there has to be evidence that can support your claims, and the injury or negligent act that caused your illness must be able to be traced back to something that the cruise ship did or failed to do. If you got sick on a cruise ship, you need experienced, able hands of a cruise ship sickness attorney in order to collect maximum compensation as well as seek out the closure you need, and we’re here to help with that.
