Miami Cruise Accident Lawyer

Cruise shipWe are a Miami law firm that wants to represent you if a cruise line’s carelessness caused your injury.  Many cruise lines require that you sue them in Federal Court in Miami, Florida.

This is often true regardless of where the ship sailed from.  The time limit to sue a cruise line is much shorter than in a typical Florida injury claim.

We have handled cases against many of the cruise lines listed below.

Carnival Cruise Lines

Carnival Cruise Lines
Carnival Cruise Lines Headquarters in Miami, Florida

We have sued Carnival.  We have also written extensively about Carnival slip and fall accident claims.

 

You must sue in United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida in Miami, Florida.

Hire a Miami Cruise Accident Lawyer

If you were injured on a cruise ship that requires a lawsuit to be brought in Miami or anywhere in Florida, then you need an experienced attorney who understands the law and intricacies of filing cruise chip accident claims.

In determining whether you have a claim and where to file a claim or lawsuit, we can investigate your accident, collect the facts and witness testimony, and gather other information by asking important questions, such as:

  • Did the accident happen while your cruise ship was docked at port or while at sea?
  • Did you slip and fall or trip and fall while on a cruise ship?
  • Was your cruise ship accident the result of poorly maintained floors, ripped carpets, uneven doorways, or other negligence on the part of the cruise staff?
  • Were you injured or did your family member drown in a cruise ship swimming pool?
  • Does your cruise ship accident involve assault, rape, or other crimes that were allowed because of poor security or inadequate safety precautions?
  • Were you seriously injured by defective equipment or products while on a cruise ship?
  • Are you a cruise ship worker who suffered an injury while on duty?
