Florida Maritime Attorneys

The law firm of Cassidy & Black serves businesses and individuals across Florida and throughout the United States. Our lawyers have experience in all aspects of maritime and transportation law. Success in maritime law claims and lawsuits, however, requires more than just knowledge of the law and the court system. We understand shipboard operations and procedures. We understand how cruise ship accidents occur and how cargo damage occurs on land, in the air or on the water. We know how to effectively argue our clients' cases.

Serving Passengers, Crewmembers, Businesses, Shippers, and Cargo Insurance Companies

At Cassidy & Black, we handle litigation at all levels of the state and federal court systems. We help passengers of cruise vessels get fair compensation for shipboard injuries. We have helped numerous crewmembers of cruise and commercial vessels get remuneration through the Jones Act, unpaid maintenance and cure claims, and wage claims. Our firm serves clients in all areas of maritime law and personal injury litigation

Every year, thousands of people take trips aboard cruise ships departing from various United States ports, including those in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale. When cruise passengers suffer slip and fall injuries or are killed due to a cruise line failing to provide a safe and secure voyage, the lawyers at Cassidy & Black are ready to help. From properly filing claims to fighting for fair compensation in court, we offer the knowledge, skill, and confidence you expect from an experienced maritime personal injury firm.

Our maritime lawyers help shippers, cargo insurance companies and uninsured shippers recover compensation from lost, damaged or stolen cargo through the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act (COGSA) and other national and international laws, treaties and conventions. These laws define how ship owners, cargo airlines, railroads, and truckers must compensate cargo owners for problems in transit. With transportation companies continually looking for ways to reduce liability by interpreting the law in their own favor, our knowledge and experience in maritime transportation have helped clients successfully resolve their contentious "package limitation" matters. 

Handling Maritime Arbitration and Dispute Resolution for All Admiralty and Maritime Law Claims

We offer alternative dispute resolution services, including arbitration, to help our clients resolve maritime disputes without costly or lengthy litigation. Attorney William Edward Cassidy is an approved arbitrator with the Miami Maritime Arbitration Council. He can help resolve disputes related to yacht claims, charter boat disputes, salvage claims, cargo loss claims and other claims related to seagoing vessels and cargo.

We also represent clients in all matters of vessel and ship arrest actions, as well as commercial vessel and yacht salvage.
