If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual assault or rape on a cruise ship, you are not alone. Perkins Law Offices handles these sensitive cases with empathy and confidentiality.

A cruise line may also be liable under the Jones Act if a crew member is the victim of rape or sexual assault.

Claims must generally be filed within two years from the date of death.
