Denver Cruise Ship Injury Lawyers – Representing Coloradans Nationwide

Though Denver is known for its stunning views of the Rocky Mountains, craft breweries, and vibrant culture, many Coloradans head for the coast when it’s time for a cruise vacation. Whether you’ve booked a trip out of Los Angeles, San Diego, or Galveston to explore the Caribbean, Mexico, Alaska, or even set sail to the Mediterranean, the excitement of cruise travel is hard to resist.

But when cruise vacations take an unexpected turn due to injury or illness, Holzberg Legal is here to help. With over 40 years of experience handling maritime law cases, we represent Denver cruise passengers who have been injured due to cruise line negligence.

Whether you’re hiking the trails at Red Rocks Park, exploring the immersive art of Meow Wolf’s Convergence Station, or taking in the stunning exhibits at the Denver Art Museum, we’re here to fight for your rights if a cruise injury disrupts your life.


Cruise ship injury claims are unique—they fall under maritime law, which imposes strict deadlines and complex jurisdictional requirements. Many cruise lines require lawsuits to be filed in specific federal courts, often in Florida, regardless of where you live or where your cruise sailed.

For Denver residents, this adds an extra layer of complexity, but Holzberg Legal has the experience to guide you through it. We handle everything—from filing claims and gathering evidence to negotiating settlements—so you can focus on recovery.


🚢 Common Cruise Ship Injuries We Handle

1. Slip and Fall Accidents

Slippery decks, poorly maintained walkways, and unmarked hazards often lead to serious falls, especially around pool decks or dining areas.

2. Norovirus & Foodborne Illnesses

Unhygienic food preparation can lead to outbreaks of norovirus and other foodborne illnesses, affecting hundreds of passengers at a time.

3. Swimming Pool & Water Slide Injuries

Cruise ships feature exciting water attractions like Royal Caribbean’s FlowRider and Carnival’s WaterWorks, but improper maintenance or lack of supervision can lead to accidents.

4. Medical Malpractice Onboard

Cruise ship medical facilities often lack the equipment and expertise necessary to handle serious medical emergencies, leading to misdiagnoses or inadequate care.

5. Shore Excursion Accidents

From zip-lining in the Caribbean to snorkeling in Mexico, shore excursions come with inherent risks. Even when third-party vendors operate the tours, cruise lines can sometimes be held accountable for injuries.

6. Assaults & Inadequate Security

Cruise ships must provide proper security. When they fail, passengers can fall victim to theft, assault, or worse, often with little recourse unless they have experienced legal representation.

7. Overboard Incidents & Mechanical Failures

Faulty railings, poor ship design, or negligence by staff can lead to tragic overboard incidents. Additionally, malfunctioning rides, elevators, or escalators onboard can result in serious injuries.
