Dallas Cruise Ship Injury Lawyers – Representing Texans Nationwide
Though Dallas is far from the coast, Texans love their cruise vacations, often departing from nearby ports like Galveston or Miami to explore the Caribbean, Mexico, or even venture as far as Alaska and the Mediterranean. Cruises promise adventure and relaxation, but when injuries occur, they can turn your dream vacation into a legal nightmare.
At Holzberg Legal, we specialize in representing Dallas cruise passengers who have been injured due to cruise line negligence. Whether you’re taking in the views from Reunion Tower or enjoying the trails at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, we’re here to help when an unexpected injury derails your plans.
With over 40 years of experience in maritime law, we handle injury claims against all major cruise lines, including Carnival, Royal Caribbean, NCL, MSC, Disney, and Celebrity. If you’ve been injured on a cruise, let our dedicated team fight for the compensation you deserve.
⚖️ Dallas Cruise Passengers: Know Your Legal Rights
Cruise ship injury claims fall under maritime law, which comes with strict deadlines and jurisdiction requirements. Many cruise lines require that lawsuits be filed in specific federal courts, often in Florida, no matter where you live. For Dallas residents, that adds complexity to the process, but with Holzberg Legal, you’re covered.
We handle everything—from gathering evidence and filing claims to negotiating settlements—so you can focus on recovery while we handle the legal battle.
🚢 Common Cruise Ship Injuries We Handle
1. Slip and Fall Accidents
Slippery decks, unmarked hazards, and poorly maintained walkways can cause serious slip and fall injuries, especially around pool areas or buffet lines.
2. Norovirus & Foodborne Illnesses
Dining areas on ships like Carnival’s Lido Deck or NCL’s Garden Café can become hotspots for illness outbreaks if food safety protocols aren’t followed, leading to severe gastrointestinal issues.
3. Swimming Pool & Water Slide Injuries
Cruise ships often feature water parks, like Royal Caribbean’s Splashaway Bay or Carnival’s WaterWorks, where improper maintenance or lack of supervision can result in injuries.
4. Medical Malpractice Onboard
Onboard doctors and medical staff are often underqualified or poorly equipped to handle serious medical emergencies, leading to misdiagnoses or delayed treatments.
5. Shore Excursion Accidents
From zip-lining in the Caribbean to ATV tours in Mexico, shore excursions present risks. Even when third-party vendors run these tours, cruise lines may still be held responsible for negligence.
6. Assaults & Inadequate Security
When cruise lines fail to provide proper security—either onboard or during excursions—they may be liable for injuries resulting from assaults or thefts.
7. Overboard Incidents & Mechanical Failures
Faulty equipment or negligent maintenance can lead to catastrophic accidents, including passengers going overboard or injuries from malfunctioning rides and elevators.
