Legal Help for Victims of Florida Maritime Accidents

The majority of the maritime accident/Jones Act cases we handle involve injured seamen, longshoremen and employees of major multinational corporations, commercial transportation conglomerates and petrochemical companies. However, the waters surrounding the state of Florida often present an additional pool of potential maritime accident plaintiffs.

Florida is home to several ports of call for various cruise lines. Although cruise lines are careful to prevent injury, unsuspecting passengers may still fall victim to a maritime injury while attempting to enjoy their vacation. Many of these accident claims must be filed in Florida.

Backed by years of nationwide maritime accident experience, we can assist you with your claim, regardless of where your injury occurred or where you live. Rest assured, our firm is fully prepared to help you build a strong case designed to secure maximum financial recovery.
