How Do I Preserve My Cruise Ship Sexual Assault and Cruise Ship Rape Claims?

Assuming you are the victim of a cruise ship crime, like rape, battery, assault, and so on, make sure to seal off the scene of the crime and allow no one to pass but law enforcement personnel such as the FBI. Make sure to take photographs immediately, so long as you don’t trample on the accident or crime scene. Law enforcement will usually wear special clothing, including sterile gloves, boots and even respirators to avoid contaminating the crime or accident scene. Make sure to get the witness’ information, if any, like their phone numbers and where they live. (A physical address.)

Get a tape recorder and get a recorded statement. (Try your cell phone, most have built in recording devices.) If you are a victim of a cruise ship rape for example, don’t eat, wash your mouth out, or wash your body until you have been swabbed and examined by a medical doctor. Ask the doctor to take blood samples as well and get the doctor to write it down in the medical charts. Make sure to get photos of the ship’s crew. Make sure to get photographs of any ship passengers who may have been involved in the assault as well.

The cruise ship will probably do its best to destroy evidence. Keep that in mind. Call the FBI immediately. THE FBI will know what to do better that the injured victim. Contact the Law Offices of Michael P. Ehline, P.C., immediately and set up an injury claim.

What do I do if I Suffer a Rape on a Cruise Ship?

Look at your boat cruise passenger ticket. Make sure to find the statute of limitations and venue clause. (See above.) Most cruise lines require an injured cruise ship passenger to notify the cruise line of any injuries starting six months after the accident. If not, the injured passenger’s claim could be barred. Mail your claim certified mail, return receipt requested. Retain copies of the certified letter.

Does a Cruise Ship Owe Any Duties to Me?

In exchange for the cost of a ticket, a passenger liner creates a legal, binding contract with the tour boat passengers. But much of the contract is unfair, and tilts in favor of the cruise liner company. These provisions can seriously hinder your rights.

These harsh conditions can include the six month notice provision, and the one year filing provision, as well as the harsh forum selection provision. Other unfair provisions include a that claim for lost or damaged baggage as low as $100 is valid, even if you lost over $100,000 in goods. Other harsh conditions include the right to deviate from a previously set and printed schedule and even disclaim cruise ship negligence for on-shore injuries.
