  • Wear shoes with rubber soles
  • Secure all doors, drawers, cabinets, etc. tightly
  • Avoid the upper decks during poor weather
  • Use handrails during poor weather
  • Follow the safety instructions provided by the crew

Cruise Ship Accidents Caused by Ship's Construction

Ships are an engineering marvel. The construction, engineering and mechanics of a cruise ship are complex and can, at times, malfunction. When and if a cruise ship accident occurs due to the construction of a ship, a piece of faulty equipment on the ship, use of poor material or even a poor design - injuries or worse can be the end result.

Cruise Ship Accidents During Shore Excursion

There are so many different variables involved in shore excursions that it's difficult at times to avoid an incident or injury. These accidents can be due to negligence by the passenger, the crew member or the tour company (just to name a few). Either way, these types of cruise ship accidents can and have caused great injury and depending on the circumstances, require compensation.
