Reasons for Crew Member Assault

Apart from the crew members themselves, cruise ship companies are typically held liable for crew member sexual assault, as they are the ones to employ cruise ship staff members. Some factors that can lead to crew member sexual assault include:

Negligent hiring
Insufficient training
Negligent security

Unfortunately, over the years, many cruise lines have had instances in which they failed to properly create a safe environment free from sexual abuse. The failure of a cruise ship company to properly screen and train their crew members can result in unfortunate consequences for vacationers.

Dangers of Negligent Cruise Ship Security

Inadequate security on cruise ships can lead to dangerous situations for passengers. When there is a lack of adequate security on a cruise ship, the following may occur and lead to a dangerous like theft, assault, or even sexual assault:

Non-passengers entering the ship
Lack of security in bars and restaurants serving alcohol
Serving alcohol to underage minors
Broken locks

After a passenger rape or assault, there are other steps that cruise line security need to take to respond, ensure safety, and preserve evidence. Assault and rape claims should be taken with the utmost seriousness by cruise lines, with incidents reported to the Coast Guard or proper authorities.

In addition to the assault itself, cruise ship rape lawyers may be able to help you file a cruise ship claim for medical negligence. Cruise ship medical personnel are required to provide necessary medical care to respond to emergency injuries caused by assaults, and they should also be specially trained to respond to sexual assaults.

Louis A. Vucci P.A. believes that those who have been harmed due to negligent security and medical personnel deserve to seek compensation from the responsible party.

Firstly, I want to say a massive thank you to everybody at the Vucci Office! In particular - Karl, Millie and Raul . I was visiting from England and they couldn’t have made me feel more welcome; They worked perfectly as a team to make me feel assured and made a hard time much easier.

Louis Vucci was recommended to me by a friend from my previous career and after using him, I can safely say I have no regrets.Louis was consistently honest with me which I greatly appreciated. He spent an endless amount of time on my case and his passion was so genuine - I couldn’t have asked for anything more. I couldn’t recommend them anymore.
Once again, thank you!

I was injured on a cruise ship – I slipped and fell and injured my shoulder. I was not sure about the process and needed help. I had no idea about the difficulty in dealing with a cruise line. My attorney, Louis Vucci, handled my claim from beginning to end and guided me throughout. He and his staff were courteous and attentive and obtained a great result on my behalf.

I had to have hip repair surgery because of a slip and fall on a cruise ship. Louis was very kind and professional. This was my first experience working with an attorney. He never tired of all my questions and answered truthfully and respectfully. He honestly understood my concerns and addressed every single one. I could not have asked for a better attorney. He and those in his office were wonderful. He settled my case in a timely manner and I was very happy with the outcome.

I worked with Louis and The Vucci Law Group from an incident I had aboard a cruise ship. Louis was very candid, honest and sympathetic to my situation. He was thorough and worked on my behalf with the cruise line, insurance and medical companies. He kept me fully updated and informed every step of the way. He made this very challenging time a little easier to handle. Highly recommended.

My son broke his arm while participating in the onboard child care program. I approached other lawyers who turned down my case. I was about to give up and I decided to try one last time. I found Louis and I could not be happier that I did. Not only did he sympathize with my case he was well versed on legal responsibility the ship has to ensure safety of children while in their care. He responds to inquiries and emails immediately and takes you through the steps to file a claim. We were extremely happy with the outcome! I highly recommend working with Louis, he is knowledgeable friendly and easy to approach. The whole process was painless.

I broke my C4 vertebrae after suffering a fall on a Flow Rider excursion sold by Carnival Cruise Line. I was very fortunate to have Louis Vucci represent me in my personal injury lawsuit. Louis was extremely professional, knowledgeable and tenacious. He did an excellent job of asserting my claim against all responsible parties (including the Flow Rider operator in Grand Turk), anticipating and addressing their defenses, and securing a very favorable settlement. Along the way, Louis always kept me informed about the status of my case and minimized any inconvenience to me, which I very much appreciate since I live in New Jersey. Thank you Louis for your good counsel and determination to obtain a fair and just resolution.
