Cruise Ship Employee Injury
Anyone can get hurt on a cruise ship – even the cruise line’s employees. When an injured cruise ship worker files a claim, they could be entitled to additional compensation under the Jones Act, which provides comprehensive coverage for workers and crew who suffer an injury or death due to their employer’s negligence.
Whether you were a guest or an employee, victims of cruise ship accidents could receive significant compensation to help pay for the cost of medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Contact a cruise ship accident lawyer at The Barnes Firm for a FREE case evaluation.
