Travelling and holidaying is supposed to be both exciting and stress free. Unfortunately, for some people, accidents can happen, and things can go wrong. If you are injured or suffer from an illness unexpectedly because of negligence whilst you are travelling, it can easily have a massive impact on your time away.
Being involved in an accident or becoming ill whilst on a ferry is no exception. It’s usually a way to get from a/b and at the beginning or end of a trip, so it can totally ruin your holiday and in some cases for a while after. If this does happen, you may be able to make a personal injury claim. Here is all the information you need to know about claiming for an accident on a ferry.

Whilst on a ferry, the crew has a duty of care to all their passengers; to make a claim, you must be able to show that a breach of duty has resulted in your injury or illness. If you slip where there is no wet floor sign for example, it is important for you to document what has gone wrong (such as taking pictures), to show that something could have been done to prevent your accident.
You need to demonstrate how the accident has impacted you. If you have paid for treatment for your injuries or illness, or had to take time off work, then it is important that you keep record of this. You may be entitled to compensation for any loss of earnings incurred because of your injuries.
