MSC Cruises Injury Claims

Injured on an MSC Cruise? Know Your Legal Rights

MSC Cruises is one of the fastest-growing cruise lines in the world, known for its luxurious ships, European-style hospitality, and exciting itineraries. With a fleet that includes the MSC Seascape, MSC World Europa, MSC Meraviglia, and MSC Seaside, the cruise line attracts passengers looking for high-end entertainment, fine dining, and unique onboard experiences. However, accidents and injuries can still happen due to negligence, unsafe conditions, or security failures.

At Holzberg Legal, we help injured passengers hold MSC Cruises accountable when their dream vacation turns into a nightmare. If you suffered an injury aboard any MSC cruise ship, you may be entitled to significant compensation.

Common Injuries Aboard MSC Cruises

Passengers on MSC’s Seaside Class, Meraviglia Class, and World Class ships, including MSC Virtuosa, MSC Divina, and MSC Euribia, can experience injuries due to various hazards. Some of the most common cruise-related accidents include:

Slip and Falls – MSC’s Horizon Pool, Jungle Pool, and the Yacht Club sundeck can become dangerously slippery, leading to severe fall-related injuries.
Food Poisoning & Illness Outbreaks – Dining at venues like Butcher’s Cut, Kaito Teppanyaki, HOLA! Tacos & Cantina, and Ocean Cay Restaurant should maintain strict food safety standards, but passengers have suffered from foodborne illnesses and norovirus outbreaks.
Drownings & Pool Accidents – MSC’s Aqua Park, Forest Aquaventure Park, and indoor pools can pose dangers when lifeguards are absent or floors are wet and unmarked.
Shore Excursion Injuries – Popular destinations like Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Nassau, Cozumel, and St. Maarten have seen passenger injuries due to unregulated excursion operators and defective rental equipment.
Medical Malpractice – Onboard medical facilities may fail to provide proper emergency care, leading to worsening conditions.
Assault & Sexual Assault – Poor security has led to passenger and crew-related assaults in areas like Attic Club, Venchi Chocolate Bar, and the Sports Bar.

If you were injured aboard MSC Preziosa, MSC Seaview, or any other MSC Cruises vessel, you may have grounds to file a lawsuit.

Can I Sue MSC Cruises for an Injury?

Yes, but MSC Cruises lawsuits must be filed in Florida, specifically in the Southern District of Florida, per the forum selection clause in the cruise line’s passenger ticket contract.

Since MSC operates under maritime law, these cases involve strict deadlines and unique legal requirements. Most claims must be filed within one year, so you must act quickly.

What to Do After an Injury on an MSC Cruise

Report the Incident – Notify Guest Services and ensure an official accident report is documented.
Take Photos & Videos – Capture the hazardous condition, your injuries, and any lack of warning signs.
Get Witness Contact Information – Fellow passengers can provide crucial testimony to support your claim.
Seek Immediate Medical Attention – Visit the ship’s medical facility and follow up with a doctor on land.
Do Not Sign Any Documents – MSC Cruises may try to limit liability by requesting that you sign waivers or accept an early settlement.
Contact a Maritime Lawyer – Cruise ship lawsuits require a maritime law attorney who understands MSC Cruises’ legal defenses.
