were you injured in a cruise ship accident?
Get Help From Cruise Ship Accident Lawyers
The attorneys at Waks and Barnett, P.A. represent passengers and crewmembers who were hurt in accidents on cruise ships and cruise ship excursions. If you’ve suffered an injury, it is important for you to know that the laws under which injured parties can file injury claims and lawsuits after an accident are different than if the accident occurred on land.
Under maritime law, a victim will have to prove that the cruise line’s negligence led to their injuries. Victims will also have to adhere to legal provisions they agreed to when signing their Ticket Contract prior to sailing. These provisions will dictate how, when and where injury claims may be filed. Successfully navigating the process of suing a cruise line requires an experience cruise ship accident lawyer.
