LAW FIRM FOR Cruise Ship Accidents

Florida is notorious for its cruise line industry. Each year, hundreds of thousands of travelers embark to overseas destinations through the ports of Miami, Tampa, and Canaveral. Whether it’s a weekend trip or a week-long journey, these cruise ships sail to exotic destinations with thousands of passengers in tow. Between the activities on board and the offshore adventures, cruise lines must account for the safety and well-being of each passenger aboard. A sunny vacation can soon turn cloudy when a cruise ship injury or wrongful death occurs. When tragedy takes place, victims must seek proper compensation for the emotional distress and suffering associated with a cruise ship injury. Whether the victim is a passenger or crew member, these accidents can cause serious harm or life-altering damage if negligence exists on board.

Cruise Ship AccidentMaritime Law

Filing a personal injury claim after a cruise ship injury is a complex process, requiring specialized knowledge of maritime law. The jurisdiction can vary depending on where the accident occurs and who can file a claim. If you are a victim of a cruise ship injury, there are certain regulations you must follow in order to establish a legitimate case. It is important to note, the statute of limitations is much shorter for cruise ship injuries. A personal injury claim involving a cruise ship must be filed within one year of the accident. An injured passenger must also provide a written notice to the cruise line within six months of the date of injury – detailing the event of the accident and the decision to pursue legal action.

Cruise Ship AccidentCases We Handle

Cruise line owners are held liable for any sort of negligence that occurs while passengers are on board, including poor maintenance, incompetent staffing, and improper safety procedures. The cruise ship injury attorneys at Porcaro Law handle the following claims:

  • Falling overboard
  • Slip-and-fall accidents
  • Pool or water slide accidents
  • Dock accidents
  • Physical or sexual assault
  • Infections or illness from unsanitary conditions
  • Injuries from recreational activities
  • Capsizing
  • Injuries from excursions
  • Inadequate medical care

Fortunately, maritime law intends to protect injured victims from the team of lawyers ready to defend the cruise line companies. Since the process of filing a cruise ship injury claim is time sensitive and complicated, hiring an experienced cruise ship injury attorney remains pivotal.
