There are numerous types of accidents that can occur on boats and ships that can lead to a personal injury claim.

Accidents and personal injury occurring on ships and boats can often be quite complicated. Especially if the accident occurred whilst outside of the UK. It could be that you are subjected to the law of the country in which the accident occurred. However, the accident occurred whilst on holiday if you booked through an English company you may still be able to make a claim under English law.<\/p>\n

However, when the accident or personal injury occurred on a ship or boat<\/strong> the limitation period is much shorter and the claim must be made within two years of the accident date.<\/strong> It is only in specialist circumstances that the two year limitation period does not apply. It is important to seek professional specialist advice when considering making a claim of this kind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
