CRUISE SHIP INJURY ATTORNEY IN THE VILLAGES

In retirement years many people turn to cruise ships as a form of travel, adventure and relaxation.  In Florida, there are many cruise lines that operate from one of the major Florida terminals: Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, MSC, Virgin, Celebrity, Princess, Margaritaville, etc., all cruise from Florida. But what happens if there is an injury suffered by a passenger? Many people do not know that there are very few attorneys in the entire State of Florida who handle cruise ship injury cases, and more importantly who know how to handle them. Here are a couple of questions which will help you know whether you are talking to a pretender—an attorney who is pretending to know about cruise ship injury cases—or to an attorney who knows what they are doing.

First, ask what is the statute of limitations on a cruise ship injury case. (For most cases it is typically one year.)

Second, ask this, if suit had to be filed where would that be for your cruise ship injury case. (For most cruise ship injury cases suit has to be filed in Miami, and in federal court.)

If the attorney you are talking to cannot answer the above two simple questions without having to go look it up somewhere, run away from there.  Would you trust a surgeon who had never done the type of surgery you might need? Of course not. Then why would you trust an attorney for your cruise ship injury case who has never handled one before?

At www.888BoatLaw.com we don’t pull any punches about who is qualified to go against the cruise lines that get the benefit of maritime law. Today we took the corporate representative deposition of Carnival Cruise Lines for more than three hours on behalf of our deserving client. This is not a random deposition under oath, this is a deposition of the company itself. In such a deposition we are able to ask Carnival questions about why our client was injured on their vessel and what could they have done to prevent that. At www.888BoatLaw.com we have been successfully representing injured cruise ship passengers for more than 25 years. Car accident attorneys refer cruise ship cases to us because they know we are very good at what we do and because we are specialists in cruise ship injury cases.

Here are a couple of other things to remember about your cruise ship injury case. The cruise lines know which attorneys practice in maritime law and which attorneys do not. This is important because the law that applies to your cruise ship injury case is different—very different—from the law that applies to auto accident cases. A second thing to remember is that most auto accident attorneys have never practiced in federal court, and that is where almost all cruise ship injury cases have to be filed.
