Cruise Ship Injury Attorneys
Cruise ship injury is a complex and specialized area of law. Cruise ship injury lawsuits are not a type of case that your average personal injury lawyer often handles. You need the help of experienced cruise ship injury attorneys who have an in-depth knowledge of Maritime Law and how it applies to cruise lines, as well as experience dealing with the contracts the cruise ship companies use to make these cases more difficult for their passenger victims. The cruise ship attorneys at Hickey Law Firm, P.A., can help you win the compensation that you deserve.
What You Need to Know
The fine print on your cruise ticket is your contract. The cruise line will use this against you if at all possible. Corporate attorneys write these ticket contracts to be favorable for the cruise lines and to make it as difficult as possible for injury victims to recover damages or even pursue them. Many passengers are not aware of the contract on their tickets and those who are typically do not read them until something goes wrong.
Ticket contracts have been upheld as enforceable by the Supreme Court. It is very important that you read your ticket and follow the rules laid out for taking legal action. All too often, Cruise ship injury victims are barred from compensation because they or their attorneys do not fully understand or fully comply with the ticket contract.
