Florida is home to some of the biggest and busiest cruise ports in the world. Florida law is clear that cruise lines have a non-delegable responsibility to make sure that passengers are safe when being transported between the ship and shore.

If you have been injured on a cruise ship, tender or in port, it is important that you seek immediate medical care and report the incident. Cruise lines often defend cases based upon a “lack of reported incident.” Also, immediately consult with an experienced Cruise Ship Injury lawyer who is admitted to practice in Federal Court.

Often an injured passenger returns home and several months pass before a local attorney is even consulted. Only then does the Claimant realize that they need an attorney licensed to practice not only in Florida, but in Florida federal courts. If a local attorney is unfamiliar with how to proceed in a cruise ship injury case, they inadvertently jeopardize the client’s right to compensation by not filing the law suit in the correct court within the prescribed one-year time limit. Cruise Ship accident cases are handled differently, delicately and having an experienced local boutique law firm in the heart of Fort Lauderdale makes for a perfect fit!
