Disney has made a name for itself as a beloved company. The entertainment giant has long found a home on the waves, with two new cruise ships recently taking to the seas. However, cruises can be dangerous, especially when involving young children. Our Disney cruise line injury lawyers can help you hold Disney and other liable parties responsible for your losses.
We believe that you have the right to ask for a settlement that accurately reflects the value of your cruise line losses. You’re under no obligation to accept the first offer Disney throws your way. John Foy & Associates and its cruise ship injury lawyers have worked for good, honest people like you since 2003. Let “The Strong Arm™” fight for you today.
What Should You do if Disney Offers You a Cruise Accident Settlement?
Disney does not like for word to get out about injuries on its cruises. To slow the presses, a representative may reach out to you with a settlement offer that, at first glance, seems generous. In reality, you should never accept a settlement offer from a company like Disney without independently calculating the value of your damages.
You are under no obligation to accept Disney’s first settlement offer. In fact, in doing so many limit your right to future legal action. If Disney reaches out with an offer, make it clear that you intend to contact an attorney before accepting. Do not let the company bully or pressure you into signing anything until you have an attorney look over all appropriate documentation.
Notably, signing a waiver or release form doesn’t automatically deny you the right to legal action. You can still work with an experienced personal injury lawyer to find evidence that negligent parties breached the duty of care they owed you, waiver or no waiver. In doing so, you can more effectively argue for damages based on your losses.
Can You Sue Disney After a Cruise Line Accident?
When you board a Disney cruise ship, Disney and its employees assume liability for your well-being. The corporation has a legal duty to provide you with the care you need to stay safe and out of harm. If Disney’s cruise ships and staff put you at unreasonable risk of harm, you may suffer serious injury – and hold the corporation accountable for your losses.
You can work with a Disney cruise line injury attorney to take legal action against the Disney corporation almost immediately after your accident. When you contact our team, we’ll break down what steps you can take to keep Disney representatives and insurance adjusters at bay.
Once you’re back on dry land, we can discuss what evidence you can use to prove that Disney violated the duty of care it owed you while cruising. If you want to negotiate for a fair settlement, we can represent you in conversations with Disney representatives. We can also discuss your right to take a lawsuit against Disney to civil court.
What Common Injuries Can You Suffer on a Cruise?
The injuries you suffer while on a Disney cruise may take a myriad of forms depending on the ship’s security, safety procedures, and weather conditions. It’s all too common for someone to forget to place a “wet floor” sign in a buffet and cause a serious slip and fall accident. It’s less likely, but still possible, for security to negligently allow someone to fall over a railing.
You have the right to ask for legal compensation after an accident on a Disney cruise ship if you slip, fall, suffer an injury on a ride, get injured by a faulty product, or suffer from theft, assault, violent crimes, or sexual assault, among other incidents.
Our team can break down the specific circumstances that led to your accident, highlighting the negligence that entitles you to legal action while classifying your case under the broader umbrella of personal injury claims.
When Should You Contact a Disney Cruise Line Injury Lawyer?
It’s difficult to know what deadlines apply to your fight for Disney cruise line injury compensation without first consulting an attorney. The circumstances that led to your accident and the nature of your cruise may impact your filing timeline. We recommend booking a free case consultation with an experienced legal professional to discuss your case’s filing deadline.
Scheduling a case consultation with our law firm does not obligate you to move forward with a claim. It is entirely up to you to decide whether or not you want to sue Disney or its affiliates for losses sustained on a cruise. Our team will highlight your right to do so and make the legal proceedings that follow the claim-filing process as straightforward as possible.
Our Team Works on Contingency
A Disney cruise will already put you out a pretty penny. How are you supposed to pay for legal representation when you have vacation expenses and emergency medical bills to pay? When you work with John Foy & Associates, you don’t have to let the financial details get in the way of your fight for justice.
John Foy & Associates and our Disney cruise line injury lawyers operate on a contingency fee basis. That means you only pay for our services if we win your cruise line injury case. You don’t pay for a case consultation, don’t have to put down a deposit to kickstart a case, and will not receive any bills while your case is in progress.
