Watercraft/Cruise Ship Accidents

Boca Raton Watercraft and Cruise Ship Lawyers

cruiseshipFlorida's climate lends itself to many Florida residents and visitors taking advantage of water activities year round.  With hundreds of miles of coastlines, watercraft and boating accidents are common.  Unfortunately, many boaters are reckless and negligent when operating their watercraft, and they fail to take necessary safety precautions.  Drunk driving is one of the most common forms of boat accidents.  Accidents can also occur from equipment failure, inadequate training, or negligence.

If you or someone you know has suffered severe, or even fatal, injuries resulting from a boating accident, our experienced boat accident lawyers can help you be aware of your legal options.  We will work with insurance companies and ensure that you receive the proper medical attention as quickly as possible.

Cruise Ship Accidents

We handle cases that involve individuals injured on larger vessels, including cruise ship cases.  Accidents that typically occur on a cruise ship include:

  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Accidents on cruise line approved excursions at ports of call
  • Swimming pool or water slide accidents
  • Severe illness resulting from contaminated food
  • Ship tender accidents
  • Dangerous and defective conditions on the ship

Many times, a passenger's cruise tickets has a one-year Statute of Limitation on personal injury claims against the cruise line and provide that all claims be brought against the cruise line in the city where the cruise line has its U.S. offices - usually Miami-Dade County, Florida.  Because of this limitation, it is critical that you retain an attorney as soon as possible so that any unsafe conditions may be documented and any witnesses located and interviewed.
