At Morrow & Sheppard LLP, we provide experienced legal representation for cruise ship injury victims. This includes individuals who have been injured on cruise ships and during shore excursions, as well as families who have lost loved ones in fatal accidents at sea. We represent clients in all types of personal injury and wrongful death claims and have particular experience investigating offshore accidents; as a result, we are uniquely equipped to handle your cruise ship injury claim.
Cruise Ship Injury Cases We Handle
Cruise Ship Drowning Accidents
If you have lost a loved one in a cruise ship drowning accident, you could be entitled to significant financial compensation. Cruise ship companies owe a heightened duty to protect their passengers, and this includes taking appropriate measures to prevent their passengers from falling overboard. Actions (and inactions) that can make cruise operators liable to the families of drowning accident victims include:
- Failing to warn passengers of rough seas
- Failing to perform an appropriate rescue attempt
- Hiring crew members who are inadequately trained or violent
- Installing inadequate, dangerous, or defective handrails
- Serving alcohol to intoxicated passengers
Cruise Ship Accidents During Shore Excursions
Accidents can happen both in transit from the cruise ship to land (on tenders) and during activities on shore. If you were involved in a cruise ship accident during a shore excursion, depending on what happened, the cruise line and a number of other parties could all potentially be responsible for your injuries. We handle excursion accident cases including, but not limited to:
- Tender accidents
- Docking accidents and injuries at port
- Vehicle collisions and pedestrian accidents
- Assaults due to inadequate security
- Accidents caused by defective or poorly-maintained equipment
If you were injured during a cruise ship shore excursion, contact us so that we can fight for maximum compensation on your behalf.
Cruise Ship Passenger Injuries
There are many situations in which cruise lines can be liable for passengers’ injuries while onboard as well. From slips and falls on wet decks to assaults by cruise ship crew members and intoxicated passengers, we handle claims involving all types of cruise ship passenger injuries.
What to Do If You Have Been Injured on a Cruise Ship
If you have been injured or a loved one has been killed on a cruise ship, the most important thing you need to do is speak with a qualified attorney as soon as possible. You may only have a limited amount of time to notify the cruise ship company about your claim, and if you delay you could lose your right to recover just compensation. Our top-rated cruise ship injury lawyers at Morrow & Sheppard LLP can act quickly to protect your legal rights, and we will fight vigorously to win the maximum compensation you deserve.

Nick Morrow and John Sheppard were the lead attorneys on my case to hold an apartment complex with inadequate security responsible for the death of my son. The two of them were focused and determined to represent me and my son's children with tenacity. As the case continued over time, it became... apparent that we were not merely clients that were a means to a financial end to them but people who had experienced a life changing and devastating loss. They realized that as a result of our loss, there needed to be accountability that could only be obtained through legal actions. Throughout the legal process, Nick Morrow and John Sheppard were not only professional and transparent but also compassionate and empathetic as they lead us through the difficult and sometimes confusing legal maze. Every person in their office that was involved with our case exemplified an extension of the genuine concern that began with attorneys Morrow and Sheppard. I have and will continue to recommend this firm to individuals who find themselves in need of legal representation.read more

Before I engaged John Sheppard, I was concerned that I might lose my case. However, John came onboard, turned things around, and set me on a good course to win. He got up to speed quickly on the facts and determined exactly what we needed to do. He is great at strategy, filing discovery and... other motions, and arguing before the court. I was extremely pleased with the outcome of my case. If you need legal help in a personal injury action, commercial law or whatever, hire him immediately! He is a pleasure to work with, will thoroughly explain all to you in a manner you can understand, and will get you the best possible outcome. A+++read more

Nick Morrow and John Sheppard are the best. I was paralyzed in a work injury. Several other lawyers turned down my case. Morrow & Sheppard hired expensive experts, took dozens of depositions, and proved my case. I saw them in court against a team of defense lawyers, and the defense lawyers... didn’t stand a chance. Morrow & Sheppard took my case all the way when nobody else would. Now my family is set up for life. Throughout the process, they kept me updated and made me feel like I was more than a number. I still talk to Nick to this day. Morrow & Sheppard exceeded my expectations in every way, and I cannot recommend them enough. If you are injured at work, call Morrow & Sheppard.read more

My experience with John, at Morrow and Sheppard, during my company’s litigation was better than I could have imagined (considering the circumstances of being involved in litigation). What stood out to me the most, was John’s tenacity in preparation. I later realized this came from two places, one... he didn’t want to lose and two (and most importantly) he CARED so much about me getting justice. I cannot stress this enough, when you are dealing with a lawyer that truly cares, then all of the other stresses I had around the case seemed to go away. I was always kept up to date with what was going on in our case, and he always made it very clear he was just an email or call away! In addition to these attributes, he also knows the law and is willing to fight for what is right! It would be tough to find another lawyer that is as highly effective, skilled, knowledgeable, ethical and has such an impeccable reputation (which is well deserved). I would recommend Morrow and Sheppard to anyone seeking out a law firm, in the event they needed counsel.read more
