Houston Cruise Ship Injury Lawyer – Fighting for Gulf Coast Passengers
Houston knows how to win. From the relentless grind of the Astros, the electric energy of the Rockets, to the battle-hardened grit of the Texans, this city is all about power plays and comebacks. But when a dream cruise turns into a legal nightmare, you need a lawyer who brings that same championship mindset to your case.
Houston isn’t just a powerhouse city—it’s also a major departure point for cruise passengers sailing out of Galveston to the Caribbean, Mexico, and beyond. When things go wrong at sea, the cruise lines will fight hard to avoid responsibility. That’s where we come in.
At our firm, we go toe-to-toe with the biggest cruise lines to demand justice for injured passengers. We handle cases against:
- Carnival Cruise Line
- Royal Caribbean International
- Disney Cruise Line
- Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL)
- Princess Cruises
- MSC Cruises
If you were injured on a cruise ship or during a shore excursion, you need a lawyer who understands maritime law—not just a general injury attorney. We know the loopholes cruise lines use to deny claims, and we know how to shut them down.
But when the smooth sailing hits stormy seas—with an injury, illness, or worse—the cruise lines don’t play fair. They’ll fight tooth and nail to dodge responsibility. That’s where we come in.
Timing is Everything
When it comes to filing a cruise injury claim, you can’t afford to wait either. Cruise lines have strict deadlines. Some require:
⏰ Formal notice within 6 months.
⏰ Lawsuits filed within 1 year.
Miss that window? Your case is over—no do-overs, no appeals.
What To Do If You’re Hurt on a Cruise
- 📄 Report it immediately. Make sure the cruise line documents the incident.
- 📸 Take photos of everything. Your injuries, the scene, and the hazard that caused it.
- 🏥 Get medical attention—on and off the ship.
- 🛑 Do NOT sign anything from the cruise line.
- 📞 Call a Houston cruise ship injury lawyer. That’s me.
The Port of Galveston – Houston’s Gateway to the Gulf
Just an hour’s drive from downtown Houston, Galveston is the launchpad for thousands of Texans heading to the Caribbean.
- 🛳️ Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Disney, and Princess all sail from here.
- 🌊 Popular itineraries include Cozumel, Roatán, Cayman Islands, and even extended Panama Canal cruises.
- 🚗 Houston travelers often fly into IAH or Hobby and head straight to the port.
When something goes wrong on one of these cruises, you need a Houston lawyer who knows the local courts, maritime law, and how to hold these cruise lines accountable.
Why Do Houston Travelers Need a Cruise Ship Injury Lawyer?
Houston is a city of big ideas, big deals, and even bigger travel plans. Whether you’re setting sail from Galveston or catching a flight out of George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) to board a cruise elsewhere, you deserve a lawyer who understands the high stakes of maritime injury claims.
Cruise lines are multi-billion-dollar corporations with armies of lawyers trained to deny your case. If you try to go it alone, they’ll run circles around you with:
❌ Fine print in your cruise contract that limits where and when you can sue
❌ Strict deadlines—as little as one year to file your lawsuit
❌ Tough legal barriers that make it nearly impossible to win without a maritime lawyer
We fight these cruise lines every day. We know their games, and we know how to beat them.
The Most Common Cruise Ship Injuries We Handle
Cruises are supposed to be about sunshine, frozen drinks, and relaxation—but when something goes wrong, you’re stuck in the middle of the ocean with limited medical care. Here’s where the cruise lines cut corners and put passengers at risk:
🚢 Slip & Fall Accidents – Wet decks, uneven stairs, and poor maintenance cause thousands of injuries each year.
🚢 Pool & Water Slide Injuries – Attractions like Carnival’s WaterWorks and Royal Caribbean’s FlowRider are fun—until they’re not.
🚢 Shore Excursion Accidents – Jet ski crashes, zip line failures, and boating accidents are far too common.
🚢 Medical Malpractice at Sea – Cruise ship doctors are often licensed outside of the U.S. and make serious medical mistakes.
🚢 Food Poisoning & Norovirus Outbreaks – When cruise kitchens fail to maintain sanitary conditions, passengers pay the price.
🚢 Negligent Security & Assaults – Understaffed security means crimes happen at sea—and the cruise line must be held responsible.
These cases aren’t like regular personal injury claims—they’re governed by maritime law, which means if you don’t have the right lawyer, you will lose.
Houston’s Cruise Connection – The Port of Galveston
Houston may not have its own cruise terminal, but Galveston—just an hour’s drive away—is one of the busiest cruise ports in the country. If you’re sailing out of Galveston, here’s what you need to know:
📍 Major Cruise Lines: Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Disney, and Princess all sail from Galveston.
📍 Top Destinations: Cruises from Galveston head to Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America.
📍 Transportation: IAH and Hobby Airport (HOU) offer easy access to Galveston.
Many Houston-area travelers book all-inclusive vacation packages through the cruise lines—but that doesn’t mean the cruise company is off the hook if something goes wrong. If you get injured, they’re still responsible.
