COVID-19 & Cruise Ships

Most cruise ship lawsuits involve an illness. If you were the only person on the ship who got ill, it is tough to make a case; in the instance of a massive outbreak, however, it is much simpler to prove that the cruise ship was to blame.

COVID-19, the novel coronavirus currently classified as a global pandemic, has already wreaked havoc on several cruise ships, and the virus was only discovered last December. Lawsuits have started coming in against cruise ship companies for the irresponsible way they handled the spread of the disease on board.

If you get sick on a cruise ship, pay attention to signs there may be a problem like:

  • How many other people on board are sick
  • If any passengers are quarantined
  • If the ship’s hospital is at or over max capacity
  • Whether the crew makes any health announcements or warnings
  • Whether the crew seems to be taking additional precautions against illness
  • Whether the ship deviates from its original itinerary

If you feel as though the crew of a cruise ship failed to prevent the spread of the coronavirus while you were on board, you can join a current lawsuit—such as those against the owner of the Diamond Princess and the Grand Princess—or file your own.

Common Accidents on Cruise Ships

The spread of the coronavirus on cruise ships is currently a widespread issue; however, accidents have always occurred on luxury liners.

Other reasons a plaintiff may file a lawsuit against a cruise ship include:

  • Illness from contaminated food or other unsanitary condition, such as norovirus or food poisoning
  • Legionnaires’ Disease, which is caused by a bacterium that is common in settings like cruise ships
  • Medical malpractice
  • Passenger falling overboard or disappearing
  • Physical or sexual assault by a crew member or passenger
  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Swimming pool and waterslide injuries
