Passenger Personal Injury Claims

Although passengers aboard a cruise vessel are usually kept unaware of the fact, a 100,000-ton cruise ship is a staggeringly complex piece of machinery. A cruise ship may contain thousands of potential hazards - wet floors, loose handrails and other hazards similar to those found on land. Other passengers or crewmembers may cause injuries, either negligently or intentionally. If a slip and fall happens on a cruise ship, however, there are special issues to consider, from where the case must be litigated to specific injuries unique to cruise line accidents.

The maritime personal injury attorneys at Cassidy & Black have successfully represented numerous clients in maritime and personal injury claims since 1983. We fight hard on behalf of our clients

Crewmember Claims and Jones Act Claims

Some of the most dangerous work imaginable takes place on board commercial ships, cruise ships, barges and other seagoing vessels. Maritime law and the Jones Act entitle crewmembers and offshore workers to compensation for injuries they sustain while working on these vessels. Compensation may cover pain and suffering, maintenance and cure, and lost income. At Cassidy & Black we have extensive experience representing clients in all types of crewmember injury claims. As accomplished and effective litigators, our Jones Act attorneys have the experience and knowledge to get results for you.

Recovery of Cargo Losses

Transportation law has grown more complex due to changing technology, instantaneous communication and increasing volumes of international freight. At Cassidy & Black we represent shippers and cargo insurance companies in actions involving all types of cargo loss. The laws governing this field place strict time limitations and value restrictions on many claims. For smaller and even medium-sized companies, a cargo loss can mean the difference between survival and bankruptcy. Because we work in this area every day and have an intimate and thorough knowledge of all applicable laws, Cassidy & Black can protect your interests.

We handle claims involving the salvage of vessels and cargo, representing salvage companies and salvors in disputes arising between them and the owners of vessels. If your company was hired to salvage a vessel and you were not paid, we can help you seize and hold the vessel for money owed through an in-rem claim.

Maritime Arbitration

Attorney William Edward Cassidy is a member of the Miami Maritime Arbitration Council. As an approved arbitrator, he can help clients resolve disputes without litigation, either under a contract or by agreement. Attorney Cassidy can help resolve disputes involving yacht claims, salvage claims, cargo loss claims, charter disputes, ship sales, insurance issues, property damage and other maritime claims, as legal counsel for claimants or respondents, or as an arbitrator.

In every case, we work hard to prevail on behalf of our clients. Our goal is always to protect their rights and interests.
