Why your cruise line matters

Your rights after a cruise injury are set by maritime law and by the passenger ticket contract you agreed to when you booked. Those contracts usually require:

Written notice of your claim, often within six months
A lawsuit filed within one year
A specific court, most often federal court in Miami

Some lines use different deadlines or courts, especially for foreign itineraries. Choose your cruise line above to see what applies, or call us and we will review your contract for free.

Cruise ship injuries

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I sue a cruise line for an injury on board?

Often, yes. Under maritime law, cruise lines owe passengers reasonable care. If the cruise line knew or should have known about a danger and failed to fix it or warn you, it may be responsible for your injuries.

Where are cruise line lawsuits filed?

Most major cruise lines, including Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian and Celebrity, require passenger lawsuits to be filed in federal court in Miami. Check your ticket contract, or call us and we will check it for you.

How long do I have to sue a cruise line?

Most cruise contracts require written notice of your claim within six months and a lawsuit within one year of the injury. Missing either deadline can end your claim.

My cruise line isn’t listed. Can you still help?

Yes. We handle claims against cruise lines of every size, along with river cruises, ferries and expedition ships.
