FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Law Offices of Jason Turchin , a national personal injury firm with extensive experience in maritime law, is helping passengers injured aboard cruise ships file legal claims for compensation. Whether the injury occurred on Carnival, Royal Caribbean , Norwegian (NCL), Disney Cruise Line, or Celebrity , passengers may have a right to recover damages.

"Cruise vacations are supposed to be relaxing, but when injuries happen at sea, the legal process can be anything but," says Jason Turchin, Esq. , who has handled hundreds of cruise passenger injury claims . "We hope level the playing field against major cruise lines and fight for the compensation our clients deserve."

Common Types of Cruise Ship Injuries

Cruise ship passengers may be injured due to:

• Slip and falls on wet decks, buffet areas, or poolside
• Shore excursion accidents involving third-party vendors
• Medical negligence by shipboard doctors or medical staff
• Assaults by crew members or other passengers
• Falling objects , unsafe railings, or elevator malfunctions

Cruise Lines Have Strict Deadlines

Many cruise line ticket contracts require passengers to file a claim within one year of the injury and often in a specific court, such as federal court in Miami, Florida .

"These legal time limits are buried in the fine print, and missing them can result in your case being dismissed," warns Turchin. "If you've been hurt, don't wait-talk to a cruise injury lawyer right away."
