FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Law Offices of Jason Turchin, a national personal injury law firm with extensive experience in cruise injury claims, is helping cruise passengers who suffer injuries on ships like Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian (NCL), Celebrity, and Disney Cruise Line.
“Many passengers don’t realize that cruise injury cases follow a unique set of rules,” says Jason Turchin, Esq., a cruise injury lawyer who has handled hundreds of claims. “If you’re injured on a cruise, the clock starts ticking right away, and waiting too long can cost you your case.”
Common Cruise Ship InjuriesPassengers can be injured in a variety of ways on board, including:
Slip and falls on wet decks or stairwells
Trip hazards from poorly maintained areas
Assault by crew members or other guests
Accidents during excursions or ship-sponsored activities
Medical malpractice by shipboard doctors or nurses
Cruise Contracts Often Limit Your RightsMost cruise lines—including Carnival and Royal Caribbean—require that injury claims be filed within one year and often only in Miami, Florida, regardless of where the ship departed.
“These restrictions are buried in the fine print of your cruise ticket,” says Turchin. “Missing a deadline or filing in the wrong court can result in your case being dismissed.”
Steps to Take After a Cruise InjuryIf you were hurt on a cruise ship, you should:
Report the injury immediately and request a written incident report
Take photos of the scene and your injuries
Collect witness names and contact info
Seek medical attention on and off the ship
Contact an experienced cruise injury attorney
