How Can I Win a Cruise Injury Lawsuit?
There are many common injuries that can happen on a cruise ship: slip & fall, food poisoning, illness, and more. Suits for those cruise injuries will claim negligence. To win, your case must show evidence that the cruise ship had a duty to care for you; that the cruise ship breached that duty; and the breach caused your injury and damages.
According to the Kermarec rule, cruise lines have a duty to provide passengers with reasonable care. This rule was created by the U.S. Supreme Court after Kermarec v. Compagnie Generale in 1959. This means that cruise ships have a duty to take steps to protect you such as properly storing and preparing food to prevent food poisoning. If a cruise failed to do this, then it breached its duty of care.
