Practice Areas
Cruise Ship Slip-and-Falls
Wet decks, unmarked hazards, and poor maintenance are common causes of serious falls. We help injured passengers and crew recover damages for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Negligence at Sea
When a cruise line or maritime employer fails to follow safety protocols, the consequences can be severe. We hold negligent companies accountable under maritime and international law.
Cruise Ship Medical Negligence
Delayed care, untrained staff, or improper medical treatment onboard can result in serious complications. You deserve proper medical attention at sea and justice when you don’t receive it.
Offshore Worker Injuries
Working offshore is physically demanding and inherently risky. We represent injured maritime workers in cases involving faulty equipment, explosion accidents, or lack of safety training.
Jones Act Claims
The Jones Act gives seamen powerful legal rights if they are injured due to employer negligence. We’ll help you prove negligence and secure compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, and future earning capacity.
Fires and Explosions at Sea
Fires aboard cruise ships, cargo ships, or oil rigs can lead to catastrophic injuries or death. We pursue claims involving poor maintenance, fuel leaks, electrical faults, or failure to follow fire safety protocols.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU’RE INJURED AT SEA
Report the Incident Immediately to onboard personnel and request a copy of the incident report.
Document Everything: take photos, note witness names, and keep a record of medical attention received.
Do Not Sign Any Cruise Line Forms without consulting a maritime injury attorney.
Contact a Cruise Injury Lawyer before the statute of limitations expires (often just 1 year for cruise claims).
