Passenger Personal Injury Claims
Passengers aboard modern cruise vessels are usually protected from the complexity that is a modern cruise ship. But a 100,000 ton cruise ship is a staggeringly complex piece of machinery, containing thousands of potential hazards. Although some of the hazards are similar to those found on land, the fact that they are on a ship raise additional, special issues from where the case is litigated to types of injuries unique to ships. Passengers or crewmembers may also cause injuries, either negligently or intentionally. We offer a free initial consultation so you can learn how we can help. Being seriously injured on the job or because of the negligence of another party is usually life changing. Selecting the right lawyer to help you obtain the compensation you need is a big step. During the consultation, our attorneys confirm basic information about your accident. We talk with you about the location of the accident, the name of your employer, and the name of the boat. We then determine which laws apply to your situation. This allows us to give you an assessment of your case.

Series of emergency calls to cruise ship
THREE patients were taken to hospital after a series of calls to a cruise ship that had just docked in Harwich.

Cruise Ship Wake, incident Ryndam
What is your basic thought when you see a cruise ship coming, do you think what a nice bonus it going to be for our community, what a picturesque site, the people on board are enjoying our forested islands, or do you have a more realistic thought when you are a property owner in Ward Cove with a floating facility. Your thought should be when you see one of the ships traveling eastbound, to quickly gather everything from your floating docks and make sure you do not have a skiff or airplane in the water tied to your facility.

For me, that "day from hell" was March 20, 1995. If I'd had time to keep a diary, it would have read like this: 7:30 a.m. The day begins routinely at our 35-bed hospital.

"A good marketplace … a good railroad.”
"We don't do big flashy things, either in the marketplace or on the operational side," says Jim Hagen, chairman and chief executive officer of Conrail. Instead, Conrail focuses on "doing things in a very professional way," which Hagen likens to consistently hitting singles and doubles rather than home runs. This is the approach that the railroad has taken in what is an extremely competitive marketplace. It's one that is paying off. In the concluding installation of "The Competitors" series, Jim Hagen explains to Railway Age Editor Luther S. Miller and Managing Editor William C. Vantuono Conrail's strategy for getting the
Injury total on tilted cruise ship up sharply
The number of people reported to have been injured in an accident aboard the Crown Princess more than doubled Wednesday, underscoring the severity of what could be described as the latest in a series of mishaps for the cruise-ship industry. Federal investigators said they intend to find out why the Crown Princess tilted so sharply Tuesday afternoon as it sailed in calm seas about 11 miles off the Florida coast near Port Canaveral. The Bermuda-registered ship was on automatic pilot when it leaned 15 degrees to its left side, then righted itself 30 seconds later, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
