If you have suffered from any of these examples, then there is a high chance you will be able to claim compensation. However, there are steps you need to take to ensure that you are properly compensated.
What is the Claims Process?
1
Show that the ferry failed in their Duty Of Care
Whilst on a ferry, the crew has a duty of care to all their passengers; to make a claim, you must be able to show that a breach of duty has resulted in your injury or illness. If you slip where there is no wet floor sign for example, it is important for you to document what has gone wrong (such as taking pictures), to show that something could have been done to prevent your accident.
2
Impact of the Accident and Costs
You need to demonstrate how the accident has impacted you. If you have paid for treatment for your injuries or illness, or had to take time off work, then it is important that you keep record of this. You may be entitled to compensation for any loss of earnings incurred because of your injuries.
