Cruise Injury Lawyers  on Cruises Departing From San Diego Port

When most Americans plan their cruises, few stop to think of worst case scenarios like accidents and injuries.

Why should they? Cruise companies offer packages promising to take care of everything, from food to entertainment to tours of exotic locations. Any customer would assume that the cruise would take precautions to protect passenger safety as well. Once in a while, however, cruise lines are negligent – and their customers pay the price.

At Lawlor, White & Murphey, we are all too familiar with this side of giant cruise lines. We believe big companies should be held accountable for their actions, and we think victims of cruise ship negligence deserve a voice.  The law entitles victims to financial compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other costs associated with recovery – it is not about getting paid for getting hurt, but making sure you have the money you need to get back on your feet and start living your life again. When called upon, we put in the hard work to make sure justice is served and cruise lines are held accountable for their actions so that they will think twice before engaging in this kind of behavior next time.

None of this means that cruise lines are inherently bad or that booking a cruise is a dangerous decision, however. Overwhelmingly, the people who go on cruise vacations have a fantastic time and come back feeling better than when they left – not worse. You just need to do your research beforehand to ease your mind and minimize potential problems.

One of the big things that you need to decide on is where you will be embarking on your cruise. The U.S. is home to 20 cruise ports, and all of them have their sellin points. Below, we are going to provide you with information about cruises sailing out of San Diego.

Sunny San Diego’s port facility is located on the  B Street pier in downtown. The port is relatively small, but the surrounding area offers many attractions for visiting tourists electing to explore a few days before or after their cruise. The port of San Diego has panoramic views, waterfront parks, restaurants, and beautiful walking paths for visitors to enjoy. The port is home to over 20 open space parks, with miles of pathways leading through them. Fishing and boating  piers are also readily available. And if you head inland, there are plenty of other attractions available, such as professional sports venues and the world famous San Diego Zoo.
