South Dakota: Cruise Ship Injury Basics

Cruise ship accidents in South Dakota can be caused by many reasons. Three types of accidents that can occur on a cruise liner include weather-related, engineering and shore excursion accidents.

Hurricanes and other storms can create choppy conditions for the ocean waters. Heavy rain and wind can create hazardous decks and even slippery areas inside the ship. Engineering accidents can occur after crew errors, performance problems with the ship and faulty engines. Engineering errors can also cause fires onboard. Upon reaching land, passengers can be injured from hazards on ship-approved shore excursions.
