Washington Cruise Passenger Injury Lawyers
Holding Cruise Lines Accountable for Negligence
Every year it seems we see reports about the outbreak of illness among cruise ship passengers. Yet despite all the negative publicity, the cruise ship industry has still not found a way to solve this problem.
If you came down with food poisoning or contracted a contagious disease such as norovirus while on a cruise ship, you need the services of an attorney experienced in maritime and admiralty law to recover the compensation you deserve.
For the help you need, contact Seattle Maritime Attorneys and learn more about your legal rights and options.
Our practice is a collaborative venture by solo attorneys John Merriam and Gordon Webb — two dedicated legal advocates who have more than 40 years of combined experience with maritime law claims in the United States. We are not a partnership in the typical law firm sense, but we have been working together on cases like yours for many years. Our limited focus on this area of the law and hands-on experience working at sea and on the waterfront, have enabled us to help thousands of people across the country.
You Don't Have Time to Waste
The terms and conditions in your ticket contract with the cruise line limit your legal rights. For example, you must typically provide the cruise line with written notice of your claim within six months and file your lawsuit within one year. In addition, cruise ship lines are both very good at covering up evidence of their own negligence and very determined to do whatever they can to fight these cases.
The bottom line here is that the sooner we can start working on your case, the better our chances will be to recover compensation on your behalf.
