Tour boats and cruise boat operators owe their passengers a duty of reasonable care under the circumstances to protect the passengers from injury. The reality is that this is a heightened duty of care; most cruise passengers are unfamiliar with shipboard life and equipment. Accidents can easily and quickly happen aboard a ship or small tour boat. A slippery, wet or icy deck, loose carpet, unsafe gangways, defective or broken equipment can quickly lead to a life long injury. The vessel operators must be particularly careful to protect their elderly passengers form injury.

If you have been injured on a cruise to Alaska, you should immediately contact a qualified maritime injury lawyer to learn about your rights. Cruise ship and tour boat tickets frequently contain a contractual statute of limitation clause, setting the date by which a claim must be formally served and filed in Court. The ticket may also dictate the location where the lawsuit must be filed.

For knowledgeable and experienced legal representation, you can rely on the maritime law attorneys of Beard Stacey & Jacobsen.
