Were you injured During an On-Ship Activity?

Passengers place their trust in cruise lines to ensure safety, yet that trust is often broken. When you step aboard a cruise ship, you expect excitement, relaxation, and unforgettable memories—not injuries. Unfortunately, accidents during on-ship activities happen far too often, leaving passengers with serious injuries and countless questions. With over 25 years of experience in cruise ship litigation, Scolaro Law is here to provide answers, fight for your rights, and ensure negligent cruise lines are held accountable.

On-Ship Activities Where Injuries Commonly Occur

Cruise ships offer a variety of activities designed to entertain and engage passengers of all ages. However, these activities can also present significant risks if proper safety measures are not in place. Below are the most common categories of on-ship activities where injuries may occur:

  • Sports: Many cruise ships offer sports facilities, such as basketball and pickleball courts and mini-golf. Accidents may occur due to poor maintenance, defective equipment, or a lack of supervision. If you are injured, our team can help you seek compensation for the injury.
  • Cruise-Ship-Sponsored Activities: Activities like dancing, yoga, and swimming can lead to injuries from poor staff training, overcrowding, or poorly designed events. We’re here to protect your rights and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
  • Water Activities: Water slides and saunas are popular but can be dangerous due to slippery surfaces, faulty equipment, and lack of supervision. If you’re injured, we’ll fight for the compensation you need.
  • Adventure Activities: Thrilling activities like zip-lining and rock climbing require strict safety protocols. Negligence can result in serious injuries, and our team is ready to hold the responsible parties accountable.

The Legal Complexities of On-Ship Injury Cases

Cruise ship injury cases involve unique challenges that require specialized legal knowledge. Here are some of the key issues:

  • Negligence by Cruise Lines: Many injuries stem from poor maintenance, defective equipment, or inadequate staff training.
  • Jurisdictional Issues: Cruise lines often dictate where lawsuits can be filed, complicating the process.
  • International Maritime Law: Cruise ships are subject to international laws, differing from state and federal regulations.
  • Short Deadlines: Cruise line contracts may impose shorter filing deadlines than typical personal injury cases.

Litigating against cruise lines requires specific knowledge and understanding of maritime law, federal courts, and the cruise industry. Unlike standard personal injury cases, cruise ship cases involve intricate federal rules, international regulations, and contract clauses that require meticulous dedication. At Scolaro Law, with 25 years of experience, we know how to navigate these potential legal hurdles to ensure you receive justice.

What Our Clients Are Saying

“Highly Talented, Honest, Compassionate Lawyer”

My wife suffered a serious injury when we were visiting Miami. We hired an injury lawyer who failed to get us a satisfactory settlement after many months. We transferred our case to Tom and his team. Tom, Renaud and the rest of the team care deeply about their clients and go far beyond the client/attorney relationship. Our experience with Tom and Renaud was very satisfactory from the first moment we consulted with Tom. Tom and Renaud always responded quickly and effectively to all our questions. They did a brilliant work investigating and researching evidence, interviewing witnesses, and preparing for mediation. Tom hired a professional photographer to produce a short documentary video to highlight the amount of pain and suffering which my wife and every member of our family have suffered due to the injury. This video in addition to the many talents of Tom have ensured the satisfactory settlement which we got. Tom helped us to achieve a very satisfactory settlement, which was more than double what our first attorney managed to negotiate. The amount of investigation and research which Tom and Renaud put in our case was unbelievable. The way and strategy that Tom used to negotiated with the insurance company was amazing. Tom is an honest, compassionate, and extremely talented attorney, and above all he is a great negotiator. I would highly recommend him, and his amazing team, to anyone who needs a personal injury lawyer.
