Summary

Passengers boarding a cruise ship step into a floating city where decisions that can affect their health, safety, and wellbeing are in the hands of the cruise line and its captain and crew.

Tom Scolaro will cover what you need to know when your client suffers personal injury or sexual assault on a cruise ship, including how to prove actual or constructive notice of dangerous conditions in premises liability claims, prosecuting sexual assault claims under the Cruise Vessel Safety & Security Act, establishing cruise line liability for shipboard medical negligence post-Franza, maximizing wrongful death recoveries despite DOHSA restrictions, and navigating the Athens Convention liability caps.
