Cases involving injuries to cruise ship passengers may include injuries, deaths, missing passengers who apparently fell in the ocean, passengers being hit by falling objects, food poisoning, being thrown by rough seas due to the neglect of the captain and nearly every other conceivable type of injury possible on land can exist on cruise ships. Injuries also occur when passengers leave the ship to visit ports of call. Cruise ships arrange and promote tours, trips, scuba, fishing and other activities and sometimes they do not check out or monitor the safety of these companies that provide the services the cruise ship sells to the passengers.
Bismarck is an unincorporated community between Hot Springs and Caddo Valley on State HWY 7 and 84 in Hot Spring County, Arkansas, United States. Bismarck is an unincorporated rural area. In 2002 the local clinic was closed. As a result, the state of Arkansas declared it an MUA (Medically Underserved Area) and BCHC, Inc. was formed to bring health care to the Bismarck area. Bismarck has two restaurants: DJ's Drive In and Pizza Shack. There are also two markets: the BCM (Bismarck Community Market), and the Dollar General. Bismarck has three gas stations located on State Highways 7 and 84. The post office, two banks, a storage facility, laundromat, antique stores, a flower shop and the Elementary, Middle, and High schools are all within one block of the main intersection. Bismarck is located near DeGray Lake, a beautiful tourist attraction that has several designated camping areas.
