Idaho: Cruise Ship Injury Basics
Cruise ship employees have a certain degree of responsibility for the safety of the ship’s passengers. If the staff does not uphold this responsibility and a passenger is injured, that crew member can become liable. If a Idaho cruise ship accident was the result of a defective product, the manufacturer may be held accountable.
There are certain laws that can help determine liability in a Idaho cruise liner accident. Some of these laws include:
- If an injury is sustained three miles or more away from the coast, maritime law applies
- If the injury is sustained within three miles of the coast, state laws apply
- If someone dies onboard, the Death on the High Seas Act is applied
- If a ship is registered in a foreign country, those laws may apply
If you have been injured onboard a cruise ship, it is important to contact a cruise ship attorney in Idaho to help get the compensation you deserve.
