Protecting Injured Cruise Ship Crew Members
Cruise ship employees—from deckhands and housekeepers to entertainers and engineers—face hazardous working conditions at sea. When injuries occur, these workers are protected by the Jones Act, which provides compensation for negligence and unseaworthy conditions. Our Galveston-based maritime attorneys fight to ensure cruise line employers honor their obligations to crew under federal maritime law.
Your Rights Under the Jones Act
As a seaman, you may recover for:
Employer or coworker negligence
Failure to maintain a safe vessel
Inadequate medical treatment or evacuation
Maintenance & cure benefits while recovering
Lost wages, pain, and suffering
We handle claims for employees aboard Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Disney, Norwegian, and Princess vessels operating from the Port of Galveston and throughout the Gulf of Mexico.
