You signed up for that cruise ship vacation because you have had terrific experiences in the past cruising on the high seas that provide you with the rest and relaxation you had hoped for. Or, many of your friends, family members and relatives have been telling you what you have missed, and you decided it was time for you to jump on board a cruise ship vacation experience.

Please call us for a free consultation about your case. Many of our clients reside outside the State of Florida. Since the major cruise ship companies are located here in Miami, claims for injuries, accidents, and assaults must be filed in Federal District Court based in Miami, Florida according to the passenger ticket contract that you signed. Too often, we see clients filing in their home State or country who then find out they have wasted precious time, especially since the Statute of Limitations on injuries and accidents on the high seas is limited to one year. State laws do not apply to injuries on the high seas.
Maritime injuries are often much more complicated to deal with than those that occur on land. Finding experienced legal counsel is essential for you to receive compensation for your injury and especially for serious accidents. Attorney Manny Arce and his firm focuses a major portion of their legal work as plaintiff trial attorneys for maritime injuries and accidents. Our law firm has been assisting people injured aboard cruise ship for over thirty years.
We look closely at the details of your case. Our experience has shown that injuries on the high seas can often turn into tragic and even catastrophic life changing events - to both passengers and crewmembers. We help you and your loved ones weave through the labyrinth of passenger contract ticket barriers or workplace rules that if handled successfully by experienced maritime injury attorneys, will often lead to financial compensation, payment of medical bills and even lost wages that you deserve due to negligent cruise ship behavior.

Our cruise injury lawyers have dealt with injury cases that include: neurological and orthopedic problems, amputations, paralysis, brain injury damage, scarring, loss of the use of a limb or hand, blindness, a broken arm or leg Often, these type of problems required million of dollars in long term care and a pile of medical bills. And if you have lost a loved one due a fatal injury caused by negligent behavior by your cruise ship company, we work aggressively to make sure you are compensated for this tragedy.
