Maritime Accident Attorneys
in Ft Lauderdale, FL

Attorneys for Maritime Incidents

For the most part, the media exclusively covers significant events like the Stockholm and Andrea Doria collision of 1956, the Titanic’s sinking in 1912, and the fire on the cruise ship Ecstasy in 1998. Although not uncommon, maritime mishaps have been rising in recent years.

“Cruise Capital of the World” is an appropriate moniker for Miami, where the world’s largest year-round leisure cruise fleet, around 20 ships, is located. Our attorneys and investigators can acquire information and resolve issues quickly for our clients because of our Miami location, our thorough knowledge of all applicable admiralty/maritime legislation, and our familiarity with the industry.

Maritime travel requires a variety of documents, including Itineraries for Travel and Contracts of Carriage provided by cruise line counsel. It is not uncommon for these papers to include phrases that are exploited against the claimant or passengers in the forum selection process.

This approach generally works in their favor if the cruise lines specify where and how these lawsuits can be brought to court. In addition, our Ft Lauderdale, FL team represents clients for incidents related to Jones Act, Death on the High Seas Act, and Longshoremen’s Act lawsuits.
