Maritime Injuries in Monaco

Monaco is under the protection of France, but is a self-governing nation comprising just 485 acres. It is the smallest state in Europe other than the Vatican and spans 2.5 miles of coastline. While Monte Carlo is the best-known sector in Monaco, there are four other sectors as well that tourists enjoy visiting. Monaco is also one of the most popular locations in the world for docking yachts. Unfortunately, there is potential for injury when participating in offshore excursions or while aboard a pleasure vessel that is visiting or departing from Monaco.

When an accident or an act of violence occurs, victims can suffer catastrophic injuries, including brain trauma, spinal cord damage, burn injuries, broken bones, bruises and cuts, disfigurement, emotional damage or even death. Cruise lines and vessel owners are not necessarily responsible for every injury of every passenger and crew member. However, vessel owners and cruise operators are expected to provide a reasonably safe environment, both on the ship and on organized and sponsored excursions.

Determining what happens when injuries occur and what laws apply to impose liability can be very complicated. Victims will need to know what laws govern their situation and how to conduct an investigation and obtain proof of harm so they can pursue a case for monetary payment for economic and non-financial damages they endure. When visiting a country abroad, this can be quite complicated to determine.
