Oklahoma Cruise Ship Injury Lawyer

Oklahoma City may be miles away from the nearest ocean, but that doesn’t stop thousands of Oklahomans from heading to ports across the U.S. to embark on unforgettable cruise vacations. Whether you’re setting sail from Galveston, New Orleans, or even Miami, you deserve peace of mind knowing you’re protected if things go wrong.

At Holzberg Legal, we specialize in representing cruise ship passengers and crew members who have suffered injuries or illnesses at sea. With over 40 years of experience in maritime law and personal injury cases, we help clients from Oklahoma City and across the country secure the justice and compensation they deserve.


Why Do You Need a Cruise Ship Injury Lawyer in Oklahoma City?

Cruise lines operate under complex maritime laws that differ from standard personal injury rules in Oklahoma. If you’re injured on a cruise, simply calling a local lawyer who focuses on car accidents may not be enough.

Here’s why Holzberg Legal is the right choice:

  • Expertise in Maritime Law: We know the ins and outs of cruise ship litigation.
  • No Win, No Fee: You won’t pay a dime unless we win your case.
  • Nationwide Representation: We represent clients in Oklahoma City and beyond.
  • Personal Attention: You’re not just another case — we treat every client like family.

Major Cruise Lines Oklahomans Love

Many Oklahoma City residents travel to Galveston or New Orleans for their cruise vacations. We handle cases involving all major cruise lines, including:

  • 🚢 NCL (Norwegian Cruise Line)
  • 🚢 Carnival Cruise Line
  • 🚢 Royal Caribbean International
  • 🚢 MSC Cruises
  • 🚢 Disney Cruise Line
  • 🚢 Princess Cruises
  • 🚢 Celebrity Cruises

Common Cruise Ship Injury Cases We Handle

When you’re on vacation, the last thing you want is to deal with an injury — but accidents happen. Here’s how we help:

  • Slip & Falls: Wet decks, poorly maintained walkways, or slippery pool areas.
  • Shore Excursion Accidents: Injuries from zip-lining, ATV rides, snorkeling, or other activities.
  • Medical Malpractice: Negligence by onboard doctors and medical staff.
  • Food Poisoning & Norovirus: Unsanitary conditions leading to widespread illness.
  • Physical or Sexual Assault: Cases of assault due to inadequate cruise line security.
  • Overboard Incidents: Accidents resulting from insufficient safety measures.
  • Pool & Water Slide Injuries: Lack of lifeguards or faulty equipment leading to injuries.

What To Do If You’re Injured on a Cruise

If you suffer an injury while on a cruise, here’s what to do:

  1. Report the Incident: Notify cruise staff and get a written incident report.
  2. Document Everything: Take photos, gather witness statements, and record details.
  3. Seek Medical Attention: Use the onboard medical services but follow up with a trusted physician once back on land.
  4. Don’t Sign Anything: Cruise lines might try to protect themselves — consult a lawyer first.
  5. Call Holzberg Legal: We’ll handle the legal side while you focus on recovery.

Where Oklahomans Depart For Cruises

Oklahoma City residents frequently travel to nearby ports to begin their cruise vacations:

  • Port of Galveston (Texas): The closest major cruise port for Oklahomans, offering year-round cruises to the Caribbean and Mexico.
  • Port of New Orleans (Louisiana): A popular choice for Caribbean and Bahamas cruises.
  • Port of Miami (Florida): For longer, more exotic itineraries, including Europe and South America.

No matter where your cruise starts, Holzberg Legal is ready to help.
