Have you been injured?
Are you injured as a result of an incident while on a cruise? Cruising is an extremely fun way to vacation, however there are also potential downsides. The chance of a major accident or some other disaster is rare, but they do happen. However, it is fairly common for people to experience falls and injuries while aboard the ship. Many of these injuries are moderately minor, but other injuries, such as people falling overboard or being injured in an assault are very serious. In 2010 there were 58 separate incidents of collisions, fires, or other incidents that took place on cruise ships all around the world.
Causes of cruise ship accidents
Accidents happen anywhere people are gathered together. But cruise ships are especially dynamic environments where thousands of activities take place in sometimes cramped and limited space areas. There are many potentially hazardous situations that people do not always encounter in their daily lives such as slippery decks, fires, contaminated food, or unexpected ship movements. Anytime of these incidents occur aboard cruise ships, they usually lead to someone to suffering some type of injury.
