Few countries in the world have more cruise ports than Australia. With more than 16,000 miles of coastline, pristine beaches, and world-renowned cities like Sydney and Melbourne, it isn’t hard to see why so many cruise passengers choose to visit each year. Regardless of where you want to go in Australia, or if you want to see as much of the country as possible, you can find a cruise that allows you to achieve your travel goals.
If you were injured—or if you have tragically lost a loved one—on an Australian cruise, it is important that you speak with a lawyer about your legal rights. When serious and fatal accidents happen, cruise lines must be held accountable. At Brais Law Firm, we handle cases against all cruise lines touring Australia on behalf of passengers, crewmembers, and their families.
We represent cruise passengers in claims involving accidents onboard cruise ships and during shore excursions in Australia. We also handle cases involving outbreaks, sexual assaults, and other onboard incidents.
We represent crewmembers in claims under the Jones Act. Crewmembers can pursue claims for illnesses and injuries resulting from most causes onboard.
We also represent families in cases involving wrongful death. If you have tragically lost a family member who was a passenger or crewmember on a cruise, we strongly encourage you to speak with one of our lawyers about your family’s legal rights.
