Cruise Passenger Disappearances

Both passengers and crew members have disappeared while on the high seas. Both cruise lines and government entities tend to carefully guard the numbers of missing cruise passengers and cruise members as well as information regarding each person’s search and rescue events. While standard procedures call for search and rescue teams to be deployed for missing cruise passengers and crew members, these search and rescue teams are not always successful. Though many passengers and crew members are found within hours of their disappearances, some people have been lost simply because the cruise line did not reasonably perform the search and rescue operations, which create a liability for the cruise line.

If you have suffered one of these injuries as the result of another person's or cruise line’s negligence or wrongdoing, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact Florida cruise ship sexual assault lawyer John H. (Jack) Hickey in Miami, Florida, to discuss your case.
