QUESTION
Can I sue for injury to my ankle from a wave hitting cruise ship?
Asked on Dec 02nd, 2022 on Medical Malpractice - Florida
More details to this question:
On free Veterans Cruise in Miami to Bimini when we either stopped too fast or we hit a wave, is when my heel got stuck in the thick pads on deck and threw my body forward tearing my ligaments on left foot and I have many hairline fractures in the bones. I can finally get help with the pain and suffering. I need help to put through a claim for remuneration for pain and suffering and physical help and or surgery. I had to put this off due to poor health of 91 year old husband that I’m still taking care of.

You likely have a claim if you can establish via expert testimony that the cruise line was negligent. Contact counsel ASAP about contingency fee representation which means you pay nothing unless you win.

Sorry to hear.
You need to be aware of short Statute of Limitation in this type of case.
Contact a Personal Injury attorney for consultaion asap (yesterday)-I'm not kidding-and consult regarding dates first and then the particular facts.

You will need to retain an admiralty lawyer to address such a claim. The starting point will be NO - as this is an assumed risk of being on a ship at sea and that this is simply an insurance claim.
