How much can I claim for a cruise ship or airline injury?
Cruise ship and airline injury compensation payouts range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Depending on the severity of your injuries, the total compensation amount can include:
- Lost income – the amount of income you’ve lost through time off work.
- Medical expenses – resulting from your injuries.
- Travel expenses – to and from medical appointments and treatment.
- Domestic assistance – the cost of getting help with home duties.
- Pain and suffering – an amount to compensate you for your pain and suffering, based on the extent of your injuries.
- Permanent impairment – an amount to cover your loss of functionality or limitation of movement of a part of your body.
- Future losses – for example, your future earnings that you will miss out on as a result of your injuries.
- If you can’t work, you might also be entitled a lump sum TPD payment through your super fund.
How we can help you.
Your Law Partners public injury lawyer will:
Gather evidence of your cruise ship or airline injury, which may include photos of the hazard that caused your accident, CCTV footage, statements from witnesses and accident reports.
Have your injuries assessed by a doctor. We need medical evidence such as scans and x-rays to prove what injuries you suffered from the accident.
Identify the public liability insurer we’ll be claiming against.
Once we’ve submitted your claim, if the insurer accepts liability then it’s likely it will offer you a settlement payment. Most of our claims are settled without the need for court action.
If the insurer rejects liability or we’re unable to settle out of court, we may need to take court action to get your compensation.
You’re in safe hands with Law Partners.
Your public liability lawyer is backed by a team of specialists including paralegals, medico-legal experts, forensic accountants and barristers. Your team will work hard for you, check in with you regularly and always keep you up to date with your case. You’re in safe hands with Australia’s largest specialist personal injury firm.

Frequently asked questions.
No win no fee lawyers offer to run your case for you and only get paid when you win. If you choose the right lawyer, it’s an excellent option that allows you to pursue your claim without any risk, but it’s important to check the lawyer’s costs agreement to fully understand what’s covered. With some no win no fee lawyers you can still end up having to pay thousands of dollars in disbursements if your case is unsuccessful. This is because their no win no fee agreements cover their professional fees but not the costs they incur. At Law Partners, our no win no fee, no disbursements guarantee covers all our costs and disbursements as well as our professional fees, so you can pursue your claim with peace of mind.
Public liability claims typically take 12-18 months to settle. However, they can take significantly longer depending on your injuries, especially if you can’t reach a settlement agreement and you need to take the insurer to court to pursue compensation. It’s also important to allow time for your injuries to stabilise so that we can make sure we claim your full entitlements.
You can rest assured your Law Partners public liability lawyer will work as quickly as possible and get you the maximum compensation for your injuries.
