Florida Admiralty & Maritime Lawyer

Admiralty and Maritime law is based on ancient principles, but this field of law is changing. The huge increase in the number of cruise ships and cruise passengers, as well as the growing international container and airfreight traffic, logistics, technology, and changes in the types of cargo means that a Florida maritime lawyer must apply these principles in new and evolving ways. 
 
At Cassidy & Black, our Florida admiralty attorneys use experience in all aspects of maritime law to achieve justice, preserve our clients’ rights, and protect their financial interests.
 
We serve clients throughout the state of Florida, including, but not limited to, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Naples, Fort Myers, Key West and the Florida Keys, Port Canaveral, Port Miami, Port Everglades, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Tampa.

Achieving Justice in Passenger Cruise Ship Injury Cases

Cruise ships are frequently the sites of serious injuries. The sometimes-crowded quarters, the unfamiliar surroundings, the rough seas and weather, the inexperience of new crewmembers, and the relaxed atmosphere can lead to significant injuries.
 
If individuals suffer a cruise-line injury while on a cruise, they frequently turn to a Florida maritime lawyer for representation because many cruise lines stipulate a Florida venue for any action to recover losses for an injury. Passengers must also be careful about the strict notice and time for suit deadlines in the ticket. As experienced passenger cruise-ship injury attorneys, Cassidy & Black has represented numerous clients in such actions. We understand shipboard operations, and we know how accidents can occur. We understand serious medical injuries and how they can affect the victim’s long-term condition. We know how cruise lines prepare their defenses. Cassidy & Black’s maritime injury lawyers can prevail for you.

Winning Jones Act/Crewmember Claims

The general maritime law as well as the Jones Act provides certain rights for shipboard workers who are injured on the job. Our Florida admiralty attorneys have worked in this area since 1983, we have a thorough familiarity with all aspects of the law and how it governs the recovery of medical costs, financial losses and lost income, and compensation for disability, pain, and suffering. Cassidy & Black have successfully represented our clients in Jones Act, maintenance and cure, and wage claim cases. Our professional relationships with medical, nautical, and engineering experts enable us to make compelling presentations during settlement negotiations, or, if necessary, at trial. We stand up for our clients’ rights and work to attain fair and just compensation for our clients.
 
Cassidy & Black can help you prevail in your Jones Act matter.
