Medical crew negligence is, unfortunately, a common problem on cruise ships, but knowing more about what defines negligence can help you better understand if you have been the victim of this type of negligence. Several of the most common types of medical crew negligence include the failure to diagnose, a misdiagnosis, not obtaining informed consent, performing the wrong medical procedure, or failing to treat an injured or ill person. Clearly, any of these actions (or lack thereof) could lead to the injury or sickness of a cruise ship passenger, and that passenger might have grounds for legal action.
