Cruise Injury Questions, Answered on Video

If you were hurt on a cruise, you probably have questions. Who is responsible? How long do I have to file a claim? Does it matter where the ship was when I was injured? Can a cruise line limit what I recover?

On this page, the attorneys at Waks & Barnett, P.A. answer the questions we hear most often from injured passengers and crew members. Each video is short and focused on a single topic, so you can find the answer you need and get back to what matters, your recovery.

These videos give general information about cruise injury claims and maritime law. They aren’t a substitute for advice about your situation. Every case is different, and time limits on cruise claims are shorter than most people expect.
