Cruise Ship Injuries
The cruise ship owner and crew are responsible for providing a safe environment aboard ship, and a duty to the safety of passengers in cruise-sanctioned off-ship activities at ports of call. We can handle cases of slips and falls on wet decks, injuries from crowded conditions, swimming pool accidents and other injuries.
Medical care rendered on cruise ships, if sub par, may result in a medical negligence claim. Cruise line physicians are held to the same high standards as land-based doctors. If there were deviations from standard practices including: failure to diagnose or properly treat patients, failure to transfer to shore for advanced care, injury in transfer, or leaving passengers ashore in the care of unqualified physicians, that resulted in injury, the doctor and cruise line may be liable.
Tour Bus Injuries
Gerash, Toray & Gerash has handled a number of cases resulting from tour bus accidents including:
- Bus accidents caused by driver negligence or bus maintenance. After a bus crash in Venice, Italy, we represented 26 plaintiffs, including some who suffered catastrophic injuries or death of a loved one, in a mass tort claim against a Colorado tour operator and a Portuguese motor coach company. This complex case involving Colorado, federal and international law concluded with a significant confidential settlement after five years of litigation.
- Injuries suffered during sponsored stops on bus tours. For example, we obtained a substantial settlement for an elderly woman who fell down a rickety staircase at the Coliseum in Rome.
Aviation Injuries
Airplane and helicopter accidents are commonly caused by pilot error, poor maintenance of the aircraft or defective design. Gerash, Toray & Gerash has prevailed in several of these lawsuits, often aided by a Colorado attorney who is licensed to practice aviation law.
Our firm has the experience, financial resources and access to qualified experts to take on litigation against major cruise ship lines, airplane manufacturers and travel corporations in Colorado and worldwide. Contact us today to discuss your injuries and a possible claim.
