Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell

For most people, a cruise is a holiday of a lifetime. It is a special occasion which should be an enjoyable experience for all those concerned. Those companies which operate cruises have a responsibility to protect our health and safety.
If they fail to do so, the results of a cruise ship injury can be serious - and can lead to injury and even death.

Modern cruise ships have a wide range of activities available, such as climbing walls, swimming pools and bowling alleys. Cruise ship operators must make sure that passengers can enjoy these activities safely without fear of injury. When a cruise injury occurs it can have long lasting effects and result in not only physical injury but also financial losses such as payments for medical expenses, care expenses and loss of earnings.

At Irwin Mitchell we fight fearlessly to achieve the best outcome for your cruise injury claim. We’re renowned for our understanding of the issues affecting you and your family due to cruise injuries, and we know what positive action to take to make a difference.

£25,000 In Compensation For Cruise Victims

A British lady who was affected by diarrhoea and sickness whilst on a Nile Cruise with Thomson Holidays in Egypt has won a substantial out of court settlement.

She described the buffet on board the cruise ship as being served lukewarm and recalled being served an omelette at breakfast which was severely undercooked. Her holiday was spoilt by the illness and 4 years later, she still has to be careful about what she eats, her doctor has informed her that the sickness she went through on the cruise has caused irritable bowels and she has been advised that the effects may be with her for the rest of her life. 

Thomson Holidays denied liability for the illness at first but then offered an out of court settlement of over £7000 in damages. 4 other holidaymakers from Scotland, who also stayed on the same cruise ship in July 2004, also experienced illness and with the assistance of Irwin Mitchell, recovered over £25,000 in compensation.
