What Types Of Injuries Have Been Sustained On Princess Cruise Line?
When you are spending a sizable amount on a nice vacation, it is reasonable to expect that the cruise line will ensure that their ship is free of potential dangers, such as worn flooring, slippery steps, low railings, or other hazards. But this is not always the case. We have seen dozens of injury cases as a result of the negligence of the cruise line or crew of the ship.
Some of the injuries sustained by passengers on Princess Cruise Line are:
- Broken bones & fractures
- Back injury
- Laceration injury
- Neck & spinal cord injury
- Traumatic brain injury
These are serious and life changing injuries that require immediate medical treatment so that you do not have lifelong pain and suffering. Even if you feel your injury was small, such as a sprain, whiplash, pulled muscle, or cuts and bruises, you may still qualify for a settlement from Princess Cruises for your medical bills.
What Will A Settlement From Princess Cruises Cover?
If you’ve been injured as a direct result of the negligence of the cruise line and/or crew, you may qualify for a settlement to cover all or some of the following:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of future earnings
- Disability (long-term or lifelong)
After an injury, medical bills can pile up quickly. Additionally, you may be eligible for a settlement covering any lost wages or loss of future earnings if you missed time or will continue to miss time from work due to your injury sustained on the cruise ship.
Under California law, you might also qualify for pain and suffering, which includes things such as emotional distress, PTSD, humiliation, trauma, and depression, to name a few.
How Long Do I Have To Sue Princess Cruises?
You may be wondering if you still have a case if it’s been a while since the date of your injury on your cruise. Typically, the statute of limitations in California for a case like this is two years from the date of injury, but there are a variety of factors that can affect if and when the statute of limitations starts running, so even if you think you may have missed the window it’s best to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney right away.
Many people do not start looking for an attorney until the medical bills start piling up. Whether you just sustained the injury and haven’t received treatment yet, or have been treating it for some time, your case is still eligible for a free consultation by our skilled team of lawyers.
