How Legal Malpractice Happens in Cruise Ship Cases
Many personal injury lawyers in South Florida take on cruise ship injury cases but fail to properly handle them. Common mistakes made by inexperienced attorneys include:
✔ Missing Critical Filing Deadlines – Florida law allows two years for personal injury cases, but only one year to file a lawsuit against most cruise lines.
✔ Failure to Provide Proper Notice – Cruise lines require written notice within 6 months or 185 days, depending on the cruise line. Sending notice to the wrong address or missing the deadline can bar your claim.
✔ Filing in the Wrong Court – Most cruise line injury lawsuits must be filed in federal court, not state court, under contractual venue clauses. The most common court for Cruise Ship Cases in the Southern District of Florida.
✔ Lack of Maritime Law Knowledge – Maritime injury cases are governed by federal laws, international treaties, and unique cruise line policies.
