MIAMI, Oct. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Law Offices of Jason Turchin announces a lawsuit on behalf of a cruise passenger who suffered severe injuries after slipping on an unsafe deck surface. The lawsuit claims the cruise line failed to maintain safe conditions, resulting in the passenger’s fall and multiple fractures.
“Cruise lines have a duty to protect their passengers from harm,” said Jason Turchin, Esq. “When they neglect safety, they must be held accountable.”
The incident occurred when the passenger slipped on a wet surface on the deck, without any warnings about the hazard. The passenger now faces ongoing medical treatment and has suffered significant physical and emotional trauma.
Common Cruise Ship Safety Concerns:
- Slippery Decks: Water from pools or rain can create dangerous conditions if not promptly addressed or marked. Many passengers drip sunblock and water around the deck which can cause the deck to be unreasonably slippery.
- Inadequate Lighting: Poor lighting can increase the risk of accidents, especially in high-traffic areas.
- Negligent Maintenance: Delays in repairs can lead to hazardous conditions for passengers.
Several similar cases have been reported against cruise lines, including Carnival and Disney, for injuries due to unsafe deck conditions. These incidents often result in substantial medical expenses and disrupted vacations for passengers.
Steps to Take If You’re Injured on a Cruise:
- Report the Incident: Inform the crew and ensure it’s documented in the ship’s log.
- Seek Medical Attention: Visit the onboard medical center and request copies of your medical records.
- Gather Evidence: Take photos of the scene and your injuries, and collect witness information.
- Consult a Cruise Injury Attorney: An attorney experienced in maritime law can help you pursue compensation.
“Our firm has represented many passengers injured on cruises operated by lines like Carnival, Disney, Royal Caribbean, and many more” adds Turchin. “We’re dedicated to helping victims seek justice and compensation.”
