Can I bring a claim if I became ill due to negligence on a cruise ship?

Yes, you may be able to bring a claim if you became ill due to negligence on a cruise ship. Washington is an Admiralty and Maritime law state, which means that maritime law governs any cases concerning cruise ships and other vessels. This law dictates that passengers and crew members of a cruise ship have rights and remedies when they suffer injury or illness due to the negligence of other passengers, crew members, or the cruise line. Washington has adopted a fault-based system of holding cruise lines liable for any injuries or illnesses suffered by passengers as a result of their negligence. This means that, in order for you to make a successful claim, you must prove that the cruise line exhibited negligent behavior that caused your illness. This could include evidence of improper maintenance, inadequate safety measures, or failure to provide prompt medical attention. If a court determines the cruise line was negligent, you may be able to receive compensation for medical bills, lost income, and even pain and suffering.
