We Stand Up to the Largest Cruise Lines in the World

Many of the world’s major cruise lines are headquartered in Miami, FL. Regardless of where you live, most cruise ship injury claims must be filed in Miami due to the terms of the passenger ticket contract.

Our legal team is licensed in multiple states, allowing us to represent clients nationwide against powerful cruise lines.

With thousands of successful claims, our firm is prepared to fight for your rights and secure the compensation you deserve.
