Thousands of people come to Florida as a starting point for their cruise, and many residents know how fun taking a tour on boat can be when it's time for vacation. What most people do not understand however, are their rights when they have been hurt on a cruise ship. Many people who are not used to being on ships or encounter stormy waters can find themselves with a slip and fall accident, tripping accident, or more.
With so many cruise ships chartered in Florida, the team at Melbourne & Futchko, P.A. is dedicated to ensuring that anyone injured on a cruise ship can uphold their legal rights and take action following a personal injury.

One of the most difficult things to navigate when you have been injured on a cruise ship are the contracts you may have signed before you have undertaken your vacation and the legal loopholes for injuries that have taken place in international waters. Don't let this be of worry to you! Our team has a strong knowledge of the laws that apply to your case and ensure that we fight for your rights during this time.
The above are only some of the ways that a cruise ship passenger can suffer a serious injury during the course of their vacation. If you are wondering if you may be able to hold a cruise ship accountable for a personal injury, your best bet is to consult with an attorney as soon as possible. Statute of limitations laws govern the amount of time that you may be eligible to recover compensation, and acting sooner rather than later can have a significant impact on your case.
Being involved in an accident can have more serious repercussions than you know. What you may consider to be a small injury can have a huge impact on your life further on. If anything may cause you to lose time from work, be unable to work in the manner you were accustomed to, or need physical rehabilitation. No matter what, if your life has been altered in any way due to a cruise ship injury, you are entitled to damages.
