Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell

Ships and boats can carry great potential risks to those who travel aboard them. However, the staff and operators of those vessels have clear legal duties to protect their passengers and minimise the risk of accident and injury. When they fail to carry out these responsibilities, the results can be devastating.

At Irwin Mitchell we fight fearlessly to achieve the best outcome for your claim. We are renowned for our understanding of the issues that can arise out of a maritime accident.

An accident at sea can be a very traumatic and emotional experience for those concerned, which is why we provide you with the guidance and support you require to assist with making a claim for maritime injury.

Our lawyers offer the highest level of professionalism and expertise, combined with dedication and sensitivity.

Above all, we put you first.

Handling Accident At Sea Claims With Expertise And Sensitivity

If you have been involved in an accident on board a cruise ship or boat whilst abroad, you may be able to claim compensation for injuries sustained.

Whether you have suffered injury as a result of an accident whilst embarking, on board or disembarking a boat, cruise ship or other vessel, you could be entitled to compensation.

Your sea injury claim may lead to an action against either the boat owners or your tour operator, if a tour operator is involved. In a successful claim, damages can be substantial and we have successfully recovered compensation in many high profile boat and maritime accident cases around the world. However, establishing who is to blame for an accident can be complex, which is why we are happy to offer free initial advice.

Irwin Mitchell is the UK's leading firm of solicitors in travel litigation. We have an enviable reputation for pursuing group actions and individual claims for people who have suffered injuries throughout the world.

Compensation After Slip On Cruise Ship

Our client, Mrs Mace, was on holiday on the Seabourne Pride Cruise Liner.

The ship had a night club on board with a polished marble dance floor. As Mrs Mace walked across the dance floor she slipped and fractured her pelvis in two places.

With the help of Irwin Mitchell Solicitors Mrs Mace made a compensation claim against Cunard, the suppliers of the holiday. She eventually recovered £13,500 in compensation.
