Can I Sue If I Was Injured While Disembarking at a Cruise Port?

Disembarking a cruise ship may seem like a routine part of your trip, but it’s also one of the most common times passengers suffer serious injuries. Whether you slipped on a wet gangway, tripped on uneven dock surfaces, or were hurt transitioning from the ship to shore, you may be wondering who’s legally responsible—and whether you can sue. These incidents often involve complex questions of liability, as cruise lines, port authorities, and third-party operators may all play a role. At Perkins Law Offices, we help injured passengers navigate the legal landscape of disembarkation accidents and fight for the justice they deserve.
