Sub-Area

Cruise ships can be dangerous. Passengers often fall on slippery decks, get hurt during shore excursions, suffer burns, and can be treated improperly by crew, including assaults and sexual assaults.  Crewmembers also experience similar injuries, and often are worked in violation of state and federal wage and hour laws.   American Cruise Lines, Inc. is no different.

If a recent cruise has left you or a family member more than just disappointed, contact Seattle Maritime Attorneys.

Focused on maritime and admiralty law cases, Seattle Maritime Law attorneys John Merriam and Gordon Webb offer more than 60 years of combined experience in helping cruise ship passengers and crewmembers collect compensation for multiple damages including assault, injuries, medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses as well.

Filing Your Claim Against American Cruise Lines

There are two important steps in the process.

First, for claims involving personal injury, illness or wrongful death, you must file a written notice of claim that includes a full statement of the facts and legal claims you intend to assert within a limited time of the date of the injury, illness or accident giving rise to the claim.

Second, you must actually file your lawsuit within in accordance with the time limitation in your cruise ticket, which most likely is within one year after the date of the injury, illness or accident.
