WHICH CRUISE SHIP ATTORNEY SHOULD I CHOOSE?

You certainly want someone with experience who has successfully handled many cases against the cruise lines and has done so for years. You want someone who is not just advertising for every manner of personal injury case under the sun. But how can you know if you are hiring a specialist or a pretender?

HOW TO KNOW:

Google their name alongside a cruise line and see if any lawsuit names pop up. If they have none, then it calls into question whether the attorney actually does cruise ship injury cases or just advertises for every kind of personal injury case.
Check out their website. Does the attorney list 15 or 20 different areas of practice under which they claim to be an expert or specialist? Would you go to a doctor who said they specialize in 20 different areas of the body? Most would want to go to the doctor who specializes in the area in which they need that doctor.
Look at the content on their website. Does it give specific answers and insight into what law applies, where the claim has to be presented, what is the statute of limitations, etc., or is it just generic information that really does not go into any depth?
Check their bio. Does it indicate any history of maritime training or success fighting cruise lines?

WHY IT IS IMPORTANT WHICH ATTORNEY YOU CHOOSE:

Because the cruise lines know who regularly fights them and who does not.
Because the cruise lines are represented by experienced defense attorneys who do know maritime law which governs cruise ship injury cases.
Because the law that govern auto accidents and dog bites is not the correct law that applies to cruise ship injury cases.
Because your attorney has to know which law applies, where to file your claim, the statute of limitations, etc.
