Nashville Tennessee Cruise Ship Injury Lawyer

Nashville might be known as “Music City” for its deep country roots, but locals know there’s more to this town than honky-tonks and cowboy boots. Whether you’re catching a show at the Grand Ole Opry, strolling through Centennial Park, or enjoying hot chicken on Broadway, Nashville is all about community and southern hospitality. But when that hospitality is missing on a cruise ship and you or a loved one get hurt, you need someone who will fight for you.

At Holzberg Legal, we specialize in cruise ship injury law, and for over 40 years, we’ve helped clients just like you get the compensation they deserve after an accident at sea. Even though Nashville doesn’t have a cruise port, we know plenty of Tennesseans head south to ports in Florida, New Orleans, or even Galveston for a getaway on the water. But when a vacation turns into a nightmare, we’re here to make it right.

Common Cruise Ship Injuries We Handle

Cruises should be all about good times, music, and maybe a frozen drink or two. But accidents happen, and when they do, we’re here to help. We handle cases involving:

  • Slip & Falls: Wet decks, poorly maintained walkways, or unmarked hazards.
  • Shore Excursion Accidents: Injuries during excursions like snorkeling, zip-lining, or ATV tours.
  • Food Poisoning & Norovirus: Unsanitary kitchens or contaminated food can ruin a vacation fast.
  • Medical Malpractice: Unqualified ship doctors or negligent care that worsens your condition.
  • Pool & Water Slide Accidents: Injuries from poorly supervised recreational areas.
  • Sexual Assault & Physical Assault: Inadequate cruise security can lead to serious incidents.
  • Falling Overboard: Tragic accidents caused by poor safety measures or negligence.

What to Do After a Cruise Ship Injury

When you’re hurt on a cruise, here’s what you need to do to protect your rights:

  1. Report the Injury: Tell ship staff and get an official incident report.
  2. Document Everything: Take photos, videos, and get witness info.
  3. Seek Medical Help: See the ship’s doctor, but follow up on land ASAP.
  4. Don’t Sign Anything: The cruise line might try to make you sign a waiver. Don’t.
  5. Call Holzberg Legal: We’ll take it from here and fight for the compensation you deserve.
