Sea Travel Accident Lawyers

Typically, media headlines focus on major, catastrophic accidents, such as the Titanic disaster in 1912, the Stockholm and Andrea Doria collisions in 1956, or the fire that erupted on the cruise ship Ecstasy in 1998. However, sea travel mishaps are not unusual, and their frequency is increasing.

Miami is home to the world’s biggest year-round leisure cruise fleet. Here, you will find approximately 20 ships, earning it the title- “The Cruise Capital of the World.” Our location in Miami, in-depth industry knowledge of all applicable admiralty/maritime legislation, and familiarity with the industry enable our attorneys and investigators to gather information and handle cases expeditiously for our clients.

We are fully aware of the documentation needed for sea travel, including Routes for Travel and Contracts of Carriage drawn up by cruise line lawyers. Occasionally, these documents include forum selection clauses that can be used against victims or passengers.

This strategy benefits the cruise ship company because it allows the operator to specify the geographies and courts in which these lawsuits may be filed. Our law firm in Miami Beach, Florida, also handles claims under the Death on the High Seas Act, the Longshoremen’s Act, and the Jones Act.
