Where Can You Turn When Things Go Wrong?
Thousands of people take trips aboard cruise ships departing from United States ports, including those in Miami, Tampa, and Ft. Lauderdale, every year. When cruise passengers suffer slip/trip and fall injuries because a cruise line failed to provide a safe voyage, they often do not know who to go to for help. In these cases, injured passengers need legal representation from an experienced admiralty and maritime attorney.
The attorneys at Cassidy & Black, P.A., have more than 50 years of combined experience in this complex area of law. We represent people from Florida, the United States, and throughout the world who have been injured on cruise ships. Please call our Miami office at 305-271-8301 for a free consultation to discuss your injury.
The Dangers of Slip/Trip and Fall Accidents
A slip/trip and fall accident can be far more serious than it sounds. Injuries can include broken bones, head and neck injuries, brain injuries and even wrongful death. Sometimes injuries can cause a lifetime of pain or disability.
Slick or uneven surfaces can cause people to slip or trip and fall. On a cruise ship, these accidents often happen because of issues with:
- Wet decks
- Stairs
- Spas
- Pools
- Equipment failures
We can also help with slip/trip and fall injuries sustained during debarking and boarding and while on shore excursions.
What To Do if You Were Injured
Contact a maritime and admiralty lawyer as soon as possible. Cruise ship companies often place restrictions on how, where and when an injured passenger may file a personal injury claim. Because our lawyers have handled these types of cases for decades, we know how these lawsuits work. We will seek fair compensation for your injury and other losses, including any long-term medical care.
