CRUISE LINE ACCIDENTS

The state of Florida is the corporate headquarters for many of the world’s largest cruise lines.

I. Your cruise ship ticket is actually a contract between the passenger and cruise ship line. Unfortunately, most people who board a cruise ship do not realize that the ticket they have purchased is a contract stating, (1) that a cruise ship has limited liability for any injuries that occur while on board, (2) any lawsuit must be filed in a specified state/jurisdiction, and (3) the cruise must be given notice of a claim within 90 days of the injury.

Like most travelers, it is rare that you read the back of your tickets or that anyone told you to read it. We have developed several legal strategies to preserve your right to sue and maximize a full recovery for any injuries suffered while onboard a cruise ship.
