SLIP AND FALLS

Slip and fall accidents are among the most common cruise ship accidents, often caused by slippery floors, wet decks, out-of-place objects, & improperly disposed of debris and trash. While some people are able to stand up & laugh after a slip and fall, others are not so lucky. Slip and fall accidents are the leading cause of traumatic brain injury, and have been known to cause complications such as lacerations, fractured bones, and spinal cord damage. When passengers fall and seriously harm themselves, they are often unable to seek medical attention until the ship docks in the next port.
