Key Legal Considerations in Cruise Ship Injury Cases
1. Maritime Law
Cruise ship injury claims are governed by maritime law, a specialized legal field distinct from traditional personal injury law.
2. Strict Time Limits
Most cruise lines impose tight deadlines for filing injury claims-often as short as six months to a year. Delays can jeopardize your case, so immediate legal action is crucial.
3. Jurisdictional Requirements
Many cruise line ticket contracts mandate that lawsuits be filed in Miami, FL, regardless of where the injury occurred.
