Cruise Ship Injuries

A cruise should be a vacation. But when an accident happens, it can turn into a nightmare. Broken bones, head trauma, or worse. These injuries disrupt lives. We’re here to handle the legal side, allowing you to focus on recovery. Veen Trial Law is a catastrophic injury law firm in San Francisco that takes on hard cases others can’t.

Cruise Ship Injury Law Is Different. And It Is Hard.

Cruises often happen in international waters. That changes the rules. The ticket you bought has fine print. It limits your rights. Most people don’t know that. You might have only one year to sue, not two. And you might have to sue in a specific city like Seattle or Miami. Not where you live. That is the reality.

We are here to help. Powered by proven attorneys with decades of trial experience, Veen is a go-to firm for complex injury cases. We know how to fight these cruise lines. They have their own lawyers. Their own rules. We are not scared of that.

Common Cruise Ship Injuries We See

• Slip and falls on wet decks
• Drowning or near-drowning in pools
• Injuries from unstable handrails
• Food poisoning or norovirus outbreaks
• Assaults by crew or other passengers
• Inadequate medical care on board

Injuries like these can lead to huge medical bills. Lost wages. Long recovery times. You need a firm that does not back down.

What To Do If You Are Hurt On A Cruise Ship

• Get medical help on the ship right away.
• Report the accident to crew. Get a written report.
• Take photos of the hazard, your injury, and the area.
• Get names and contact info of any witnesses.
• Keep all your medical records and bills.
• Do not sign anything from the cruise line before talking to a lawyer.

The Legal Complexity Of Cruise Ship Cases

California injury law is already tough. Adding a cruise ship makes it even tougher. Federal maritime law applies. So do the terms on your ticket. Some cruise lines require you to file a lawsuit in a faraway court within a very short time. Miss the deadline, and you lose your right to sue. No exceptions.

Focused on justice – Winning catastrophic injury cases demands rare skill and financial resources. Veen meets that demand every day. We have the experience. We have the resources. We do not settle for less than you deserve.

Tackling hard cases – Talented attorneys, specialized expertise, no trial-funding limitations — that’s how Veen wins catastrophic cases most firms can’t. We take on cruise lines. We take on their lawyers. We are trial-tested talent.

Case Results That Show What We Can Do

• Crash Cases: $250 million recovered for victims of serious accidents, including maritime incidents.
• Defective Products: $100 million for injuries caused by faulty equipment on ships and elsewhere.
• Workplace Recoveries: $500 million for workers hurt on the job, including crew members on vessels.

Over $1 billion recovered – Veen has recovered over $1 billion for injury victims — an elite threshold few true trial firms ever cross. Even after Kaiser Permanente offered $0, Theo Emison delivered the third-largest arbitration ever awarded in California. That is the kind of fight we bring to cruise ship injury cases.

Why You Need A Catastrophic Injury Firm For Cruise Ship Cases

Small firms do not have the money to take on a cruise line. Cruise lines have endless legal budgets. They will delay. They will deny. They will try to make you go away. You need a firm with decades of experience and over $1 billion in recoveries. You need lawyers who have tried hundreds of cases. That is Veen.

We do not hype. We do not exaggerate. We simply tell the truth: We have the skill, the money, and the will to take your case to trial if needed. Most cruise ship cases never go to trial because the cruise line knows we can win.

We Handle These Types Of Cruise Ship Accidents

• Falls from bunk beds or stairs
• Shipboard fires and explosions
• Tender boat accidents (the small boats that take you to shore)
• Excursion injuries if the cruise line arranged it
• Rape or sexual assault onboard
• Improper medical treatment by ship doctors
