Attorneys for Sea Travel Accidents

Typically, news headlines focus on the main, serious accidents, such as the 1912 Titanic disaster, the 1956 Stockholm and Andrea Doria collisions, or the 1998 cruise ship Ecstasy fire. However, maritime mishaps are not uncommon and are increasing in frequency.

Miami is home to a large year-round leisure cruise fleet. There are approximately 20 ships berthed here, earning it the moniker “The Cruise Capital of the World.” Our Miami location, industry expertise and knowledge of the relevant admiralty/maritime regulations, and knowledge of the industry enables our lawyers and investigating experts to collect information and solve cases quickly for our clients.

We are well-versed with the documents for sea travel, which include Routes for Travel and Contracts of Carriage prepared by cruise line attorneys. Occasionally, this documentation contains clauses authorizing the use of forum selection against victims or passengers.

This strategy is beneficial for cruise ship operators as they are allowed to specify the geographic areas and courts where these suits may be filed. Our Miami Gardens, Florida, law firm also handles cases involving the Death on the High Seas Act, the Jones Act, and The Longshoremen’s Act.
