Arkansas: Cruise Ship Injury Basics

Cruise ship employees have a certain degree of responsibility for the safety of the ship’s passengers. If the staff does not uphold this responsibility and a passenger is injured, that crew member can become liable. If a Arkansas cruise ship accident was the result of a defective product, the manufacturer may be held accountable.

There are certain laws that can help determine liability in a Arkansas cruise liner accident. Some of these laws include:

If an injury is sustained three miles or more away from the coast, maritime law applies
If the injury is sustained within three miles of the coast, state laws apply
If someone dies onboard, the Death on the High Seas Act is applied
If a ship is registered in a foreign country, those laws may apply
