Florida Cruise Ship Injury Attorney

Experienced Legal Representation for Cruise Ship Injury Claims

For many people, taking a cruise vacation on the open sea is a dream come true. Having the opportunity to spend several days or weeks of leisure on a cruise ship can be enormously enjoyable, but for some, it can turn into a tragedy. If you or a loved one has been injured during a cruise, our Florida cruise ship injury lawyers can help you pursue justice.

The moment you step aboard a cruise ship, you place your life in the hands of the crew, and they and the company that operates the ship assume a responsibility to protect your safety. In cases where this duty of care has been neglected, you may be eligible for financial compensation. Our Florida personal injury attorneys at Rosenberg & Rosenberg can fight for you to receive a fair settlement for what you’ve endured.

    Available Compensation After a Cruise Ship Injury in Florida

    If you’ve been injured on a cruise ship or lost a loved one to a cruise ship accident, you are likely dealing with immense stress. Recovering financial compensation can help you regain control over your finances, seek the care you need, and help you plan for a future that no longer looks like you expected it to. 

    Rosenberg & Rosenberg can seek damages for the following:

    Economic Losses Connected to Your Injury

    Injuries can have a far-reaching impact on your finances, such as lost income while recovering or costly medical bills for your treatment. Recoverable economic losses include medical expenses, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and more.

    Non-economic Losses Connected to Your Injury

    How Our Florida Cruise Ship Attorneys Can Support Your Claim

    To pursue a personal injury claim, you need to prove that the cruise ship company (or a related entity, such as an employee of the company) disregarded their duty of care. Doing so can be complicated, but our legal team can thoroughly investigate and gather evidence to support your claim.

    Support may include:

    • Security camera footage from aboard the ship
    • Cellphone footage from other passengers
    • Witness statements from passengers and crew
    • Incident reports
    • Medical examination records
    • Photos of the accident scene
    • Statements from maritime safety experts

    What Should You Do After an Injury on a Florida Cruise?

    If you’ve been injured on a cruise ship, it can be helpful to your claim to document your injuries by taking photos of them. You should also report the incident to staff immediately. These forms of documentation can help establish both the timeline and the severity of your injury.

    However, your priority should always be focusing on your medical needs and recovery. If you are too busy receiving treatment to take any of the steps mentioned above, you can still take legal action. Rosenberg & Rosenberg can report the accident, communicate with authorities, gather evidence, talk to witnesses, and file a claim for you.
