Cruise lines have a responsibility to do everything possible to ensure that the safety and well-being of their passengers are never unnecessarily compromised.

They can even lead to incidents of rape or sexual assault. If you have been hurt by the negligent and careless actions of a cruise line that exposed you to a dangerous individual, you do not have to suffer alone. Whether it was another passenger on the ship or a member of the cruise line’s staff, the company has an obligation to uphold your safety.

Why You Need an Attorney


Cruise lines are motivated by one thing: money. We expect a cruise line to protect every passenger and ensure their safety, but, regretfully, they wait until something bad happens before they act. These companies cut corners by hiring staff without properly performing background checks, limiting the amount of security onboard, and ignoring obvious safety concerns around the ship. Their primary focus is protecting their profit streams and revenue, and they will continue to do so, even after their negligence has caused your traumatic suffering.

You don’t have to accept the repercussions of the assault on your own. A skilled attorney can fight to protect your rights. With the right legal assistance, you can show the court that the cruise line’s oversights caused your pain and distress. You may be able to recover the fair and just compensation you deserve to move on with your life.

FAQ’s

Although these terms are often used interchangeably, they have different meanings and legal ramifications. Sexual assault functions as an umbrella term referring to any physical or sexual acts committed without the other person’s consent or when they are unable to give consent. This includes coercing a person into sex through violence, physical force, threat, intimidation, or when the individual is intoxicated. Sexual violence and harassment, on the other hand, are two separate kinds of sexual assault. Sexual violence refers to a physical sexual act, including rape, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. Finally, Sexual harassment refers to unwanted sexual behavior, advances, or conduct, that does not end at the other person’s request.

When defining sexual assault, the most important element is that the sexual conduct was not consensual. When discussing sexual conduct, consent is defined as the voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity before and throughout the act. Most importantly, consent requires a clear agreement to sex rather than the absence of disagreement (i.e. a clear “yes” rather than the absence of “no”). Even when an individual has agreed to sex, this agreement does not qualify as consent if the person has been pressured, made to feel guilty, threatened, or otherwise coerced into sex. Additionally, an individual who is intoxicated is unable to give consent, as they are not in a fully competent state of mind, and therefore cannot make this kind of decision.

After a case of sexual assault, you may decide to press charges against the individual who assaulted you; in doing so, you agree to an investigation, which may bring the case to court. Throughout the investigation, legal experts will gather information and evidence from the case in order to determine the individual’s guilt. In many cases, sexual assault cases are resolved through a plea bargain, in which the perpetrator pleads guilty in exchange for a reduced sentence. However, if the case does go to court, you will likely be asked to testify and recount relevant information about the incident. Each state has its own Victim Bill of Rights, which provides you with a variety of protection during a trial, including restrictions on what information you must disclose or additional support or accommodations when you testify.
