Personal Injury Attorney Michael Ehline Says: "Cruise Ship Lines are Responsible for Passengers' Safety"

    LOS ANGELES, CA, February 12, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Ehline Law firm of Los Angeles want passengers on cruise ships to stay safe while vacationing. Cruise ships are supposed to be safe and most passengers are unaware how dangerous they can actually be.

There are special laws that might apply to the cruise ship injury and these are maritime or admiralty law and rules. Cruise lines must do everything possible to keep their passengers safe from things such as:

1. Slip and fall injuries on decks and in passageways
2. Water slide, wave pool and swimming pool accidents
3. Food poisoning
4. Sexual assault and rape
5. Medical malpractice or mistakes

The cruise ship accident attorney is aware of the incidents that can happen on a cruise ship, even though the cruise line is obligated to provide a safe environment. This attorney is experienced in both the land laws and the Maritime attorneys that apply to each specific claim.

These are complex lawsuits, with the different laws and rules that apply, which will also include time limits for making a legal claim after a cruise ship incident. The typical time limit for filing a legal claim is one year from the date of the incident, rather than the three year time limit of the Maritime laws. It is important with the time limit and the complexities of this type of lawsuit to have the proper representation by a cruise ship attorney to file the legal claim within the proper amount of time and knowledge of the laws that apply to the claim.

When the cruise line or cruise ship crew members fail to exercise caution they can be held responsible by a cruise ship attorney like the Ehline Law firm. The injured cruise ship victim has the right to be compensated for their injuries by the cruise line that are responsible for keeping their passengers safe from harm or injury.
