Cruise Ship Traumatic Brain Injuries

While no one goes on a cruise ship vacation expecting to incur a traumatic brain injury, brain injuries nonetheless occur on cruises at an alarming rate.  There are many conditions on cruise ships that can result in slips and falls and other accidents that can cause traumatic brain injuries.  Slippery floors made from hard materials, motion of the ship, and falling items from upper decks can all cause TBIs.

Traumatic brain injury can have devastating symptoms and effects such as:

• Loss of motor function and skill
• Loss of physical functions
• Confusion
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Blurry vision
• Nausea
• Trouble speaking
• Changes in sleep patterns and emotions

If you or a loved one suffers a head injury while on a cruise ship, it is important to seek medical attention immediately.  In addition, you should consult with an experienced cruise line attorney as soon as possible to ensure that your legal rights are protected.
