Maritime Law - Cruise Ships

Cruise ships advertise good times, but sometimes bad things can happen aboard to passengers or crewmembers. If you or a loved one has suffered serious injury aboard a cruise vessel, contact Simmons and Fletcher and obtain quality, professional Texas maritime legal counsel. Our lawyers will apply their years of experience to ensure that you and your family are fairly treated and compensated.

We expect to be safe aboard these cruise liners, but there is always the chance that an unforeseen mechanical malfunction can cause harm to those who are on vacation and those who work hard on these ships. Auto-jets that are designed to relieve the causes of seasickness can malfunction or be improperly deployed causing sudden, jarring movements to unsuspecting passengers and crew. Any number of hazards may present themselves due to negligence or faulty gear. Sometimes decks are improperly cleared or deck equipment is insecurely stored. Security aboard ships can be inadequate, allowing assaulting behavior as a result. If you have experienced a serious injury aboard a cruise ship, contact Simmons and Fletcher so that your rights are soundly represented by a qualified, experienced Texas maritime lawyer.

At Simmons and Fletcher, we are dedicated to your case and endeavor to give solid legal counsel and representation that is rooted in Christian values. We handle Jones Act cases and other sea injury cases as well:

  • Barges
  • Tug boats
