Legal Representation of Admiralty/Maritime Accident Victims
Contact a Florida Attorney at Morgenstern & Herd, P.A., in Tampa
Just as FELA (Federal Employers Liability Act) legally protects injured railroad workers, the Jones Act protects members of crews of ships. Crews of cruise ships, dock workers and longshoremen employed on freighters and other types of ships who have been injured and seek legal help in Florida are welcome to contact us at the law offices of Morgenstern & Herd, P.A.
Our maritime law attorneys at Morgenstern & Herd, P.A., assist injured ship crew members through the process of filing 905B claims against the owners of the ship asserting that a ship was not seaworthy. There are often other applicable claims to be made, such as products liability claims which hold equipment manufacturers liable for defects of ladders, tools and other devices involved in accidental injuries.
Perhaps you were not a member of a crew, but rather a passenger on a ship. We are well prepared to handle your injury claim governed by admiralty law. Our attorneys are well versed in the very short statutes of limitations that apply in injury claims against cruise lines, for example, when passengers are injured.
Beware: although your injury took place on a cruise line leaving from Florida, your cruise line company may be based in another jurisdiction. To ensure recovery of benefits for cruise passengers who were injured at sea, it is important to work with attorneys who are up to date and prompt in determining liability and meeting claim filing deadlines.
Contact us to discuss your accidental injury on a cruise ship such as a slip and fall incident causing brain injury, spinal cord injury or broken bones; sexual assault, food poisoning or contracted illnesses. We may be able to help you recover both economic and non-economic damages. We are committed to helping our clients receive reasonable and fair compensation for injuries that occurred aboard a cruise ship. Contact us to schedule a free consultation regarding maritime law, admiralty law and your injuries.
