Cruise Ship, Boat, and Maritime Accident Attorneys Representing Injured Clients in Miami, Florida

Cruise lines are a multi-billion dollar industry that invests the vast majority of its financial resources into the state of Florida. Much has been made recently regarding the government, cruise ships, and COVID-19, but even before the age of the pandemic, there have been accidents and controversy surrounding cruise ships. Passengers and ship employees have filed personal injury lawsuits against the companies responsible for negligent safety concerns on the open seas.

If you have been injured in a maritime accident, you may be entitled to recover financial compensation for economic and non-economic damages. To have a successful lawsuit, you may need to prove that negligence or recklessness lies with another party. However, achieving this can be difficult, especially when contending with personal injuries or loss that make life increasingly difficult.

Added to these concerns is the fact that you may be filing a suit against a billion-dollar cruise company, which likely has strong insurance policies in place and a dedicated legal team in place to defend its interests.

Taking legal action with no legal experience is challenging, but these added factors can make it seem near impossible. It is strongly advised that you seek legal representation from professionals familiar with practice areas related to your case.

Our Miami-based law firm has years of experience representing accident victims seeking personal injury settlements. We want to offer you a free case evaluation for your maritime accident claim.

What Types of Injuries Are Common in Boating Accidents?

Our law offices can assist you with minor and serious injuries caused by cruise ship accidents and excursions close to shore. If the cruise line or the owners of the passenger ship were responsible for your injuries, you have the legal right to pursue maximum compensation for your claim.

Common injuries seen in boating accidents include:

Broken bones
Burns
Concussions
Loss of limbs
Oxygen deprivation
Spinal cord injuries
Traumatic brain injuries
Wrongful death

How Can an Accident Victim Hold the At-Fault Party Responsible for Their Medical Expenses?

If it can be determined that the cruise line or other ship-related staff were responsible for your injuries, you may recover damages through the legal process.

Economic damages you may receive include financial recovery for lost wages, medical expenses, property damage, and lost income if your injury prevents you from returning to work. Your settlement may cover future costs if you require medical treatment for a lasting condition.

Non-economic damages that your settlement may consider could include financial compensation for loss of companionship, emotional distress, diminished quality of life, and psychological damage.

In addition to taking on the cruise lines, we can also provide legal counsel in cases against oil tankers, tug boats, barges, pleasure boats, party yachts, commercial vessels, and military craft.
