Wisconsin Cruise Ship Lawyer
Protecting the Rights of Injured Cruise Ship Passengers Across Wisconsin
From the stunning cliffs of Devil’s Lake State Park to the family-friendly water parks of Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsinites embrace outdoor adventure and leisure. Whether you’re savoring a plate of cheese curds at a tailgate, enjoying a peaceful weekend in Door County, or cheering on the Badgers at University of Wisconsin-Madison, life in Wisconsin is all about community and creating memorable experiences.
But what happens when your adventure on the high seas turns into a nightmare? At Holzberg Legal, we specialize in representing Wisconsin residents who have been injured on cruise ships. With decades of experience in maritime law, we fight for your rights to secure the compensation you deserve.
Cruise Ship Accidents: Protecting Wisconsinites at Sea
Cruise vacations offer the promise of luxury and relaxation, but accidents can happen, leaving passengers and crew members with serious injuries. Unlike an injury in Milwaukee’s Lakefront or on a hike in Chequamegon National Forest, cruise ship accidents are governed by complex maritime laws that require specialized legal expertise.
Common Cruise Ship Injuries We Handle:
- Slip and Falls: Wet decks, poorly maintained staircases, or unsecured items can easily lead to slips and falls.
- Foodborne Illnesses: Wisconsinites love their fish fry and bratwurst, but food safety standards on cruise ships aren’t always upheld, leading to outbreaks of norovirus or food poisoning.
- Shore Excursion Accidents: Whether you’re zip-lining in the Caribbean or snorkeling off the coast of Mexico, cruise-sponsored excursions can sometimes lack proper safety measures.
- Medical Negligence: Cruise ship medical centers often lack the necessary staff or facilities to handle serious medical emergencies.
- Assaults and Security Failures: Inadequate security can put passengers at risk of theft or personal assault, both on board and during port stops.

Navigating the Complexities of Cruise Ship Injury Claims

For Wisconsinites, that means taking legal action far from home. Holzberg Legal has extensive experience handling these intricate cases and will ensure you’re not navigating this legal battle alone.
