Boating and cruise ship accidents occur frequently, especially in Florida. Florida is where most cruise ship accident cases must be brought because of the contract that is a part of almost every cruise ship ticket for passage.
Cruise Ship Accidents Lawyers – Things to know
Our cruise ship accident lawyers can help families who have lost loved ones from a boat crash or help recover substantial damages for people hurt while boating in Florida.
Cruise ships are not merely large boats, they are virtual floating cities. These maritime hotels, however, often lack fundamental safety policies, protocols, and procedures to protect passengers from harm..
We have obtained numerous substantial recoveries against cruise lines on behalf of cruise ship passengers for slips and falls, cruise staff misconduct, on board sexual assaults and shore excursion injuries.
We continue to aggressively litigate cases against the cruise lines, most of which require that suit be brought in Fort Lauderdale, Florida pursuant to the contract between the passenger and cruise line in the ticket for passage.
You must act quickly to preserve your rights if you have been injured aboard a cruise ship or on a shore excursion while on a cruise. Time is of the essence as the statute of limitations for boating accidents is very narrow.
Travel, Vacation and Theme Park Injury Lawyers
With 82 million visitors each year, Florida is a tourist haven.
Resort Torts are personal injury cases for negligent or criminal acts that occur in a resort, vacation, travel or recreational setting. These may involve aspects of hotel and motel safety, cruise ship litigation, pleasure boating and jet ski incidents, amusement park and theme park liability, aquatic, diving and swimming incidents, foreign travel and medical emergencies, gaming and casinos, aviation, rental car liability, moped, bicycle and motorcycle safety, buses and tour guides, travel industry liability for crime victims, and medical care provided to vacationers.
Resort Torts can encompass a vast array of types of cases, but they all have one thing in common: tourists, business travelers and locals alike are all exposed to risk while traveling, vacationing or engaging in resort or pleasure activities.
Because Florida is a resort destination, and due in large part to our year-round climate that encourages resort activities, these injuries occur with great frequency here. It takes aggressive, skilled lawyers to overcome some of the hurdles thrown in the paths of victims.
We continue to work hard to be the very best cruise ship and vacation accident lawyers in Miami, with an emphasis on obtaining the very highest recoveries in these cases.
