Cruise Passenger Injury

One of the most common hazards that cruise ships face is falling overboard. Since these accidents happen in international waters, it's hard to provide accurate information about the injuries that occur onboard. However, if you get hurt on a ship, you can potentially sue the cruise line for negligent operation.


Due to the variety of activities and entertainment that cruise ships offer, passengers are prone to facing various risks. Some of these include accidents and injuries that happen onboard. In some cases, the injuries and accidents can occur outside the ship due to the open ocean. This can make it difficult for passengers to get the proper medical attention.



Types of Cruise Accidents

Every year, millions of people sail on cruise ships. A study conducted on a ship that carried over 700 passengers revealed that over 660 individuals suffered from various injuries over a period of three years. The majority of these were from falls and slips. Most common types: 

  • Incidents of slipping, tripping, and falling both on the ship and during docking.
  • ​Elevator, escalator, and handrail mishaps.
  • ​Accidents caused by dinghies, tender boats, and automatic doors.
  • ​Injuries sustained while engaging in recreational activities
  • ​Assaults by the crew or other passengers.
  • ​Incidents of falling overboard, swimming pool mishaps, and drowning
  • ​Back, spinal, and broken bone injuries caused by poorly maintained facilities.
