Ehline Law Los Angeles Cruise Line Lawyers

As a passenger on a cruise ship if you, a family member or friend have been assaulted, been injured or become ill then you need the assistance of an experienced cruise lawyer. The cruise lines make it difficult for a passenger injured or a wrongful death claim difficult without skilled advice. There are disclaimers and clauses that make it impossible to make a claim without the experienced California cruise ship personal injury attorney. The Ehline Law firm has the experience to aggressively represent cruise ship claims.

Cruise ship injuries, wrongful deaths and assaults do take place on these ocean voyages and there are people that have disappeared while on a cruise. While this is not pleasant, passengers also become ill while on a cruise and should any of these be an experience you or a loved one has had on a cruise you need the representation of an experienced lawyer. These are some of the things that can occur aboard ship:

• Sickness from food poisoning or negligence in exposing passengers to communicable diseases.
• Sexual assault or rape by a crewmember or passenger.
• Negligent medical care, medical malpractice or inadequate medical personnel
• Accidental death, wrongful death and missing passengers
• Injuries due to collisions at sea, in port or due to defective equipment
• Personal injuries including slip and fall accidents or swimming accidents.

Making claims against cruise lines is done in civil court and cruise lines have a specified time limit for filing a civil lawsuit. This applies to personal injuries, wrongful death, negligence and criminal suits. The experienced Los Angeles maritime lawyers understand the cruise contracts and can establish a plan of action for what time limit and where the cruise line claim can be filed.

The cruise line has a responsibility to ensure reasonable care for their passengers that includes, injuries, accidents, wrongful death and criminal assaults. To hold them responsible it takes an experienced and aggressive maritime attorney that understands the claims and the defense that could be raised during litigation to receive a full recovery. Most personal injury attorneys have little experience with this type of litigation or the jurisdictional questions, which can be a part of this kind of maritime lawsuit. These lawsuits can involve foreign cruise lines and to obtain the full amount of damages international laws and treaties may be involved, rather than only the maritime and United States laws.
