I'm a maritime attorney, who advocates for victims and their families, but it's not just my line of work that causes me to have nightmares about it happening to me.
A maritime expert and personal injury attorney discusses the common causes of cruise ship overboard incidents, highlighting the frequency of such events (218 between 2009-2019), the lack of comprehensive overboard detection technology on cruise ships, and the legal obligations of nearby vessels to assist in rescue operations. The case of Kimberly Burch, who fell from a cruise ship, is mentioned as a recent example.
