Cruise Ship Crimes


When it comes to cruise ship injuries, the focus is generally on negligence-based scenarios, such as slip and fall accidents on cruise ship stairways or a passenger getting struck by automatic doors. However, there are incidents at sea aboard cruise ships that involve intentional criminal acts, not mere accidents classified under the general legal heading of negligence.
Due to their large size, endless maze of corridors, dozens of bars open late into the night, cruise ships have been the scene of violent crimes, including▪ assault▪ sexual assault▪ rape▪ robbery Similar to lawsuits involving personal injury from accidents, passengers who have been the victims of crimes also have the right to bring lawsuits. It's important to keep in mind that statutes of limitations for all actions involving cruise lines are generally shorter than shore-based statutes of limitations for similar cases. Crimes aboard cruise ships are generally investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. See jurisdiction, which is determined by a number of factors.
