DAMAGES AT SEA?
As an experienced personal injury attorney practicing in Fort Lauderdale, accidents on board cruise ships happen all the time. It’s always good for you to know that you can find an attorney experienced in this type of personal injury matter, should you find yourself a victim.
Broward county’s Port Everglades and Miami’s Port of Miami are two of the busiest ports on the east coast for cruise ships. Numerous cruise lines use both these ports as their base, with ships cruising to the Bahamas and the Caribbean on any given day of the week, loaded with avid cruisers ready to start their vacation.
Last year just around this time of the year, dozens of passengers on a cruise ship, cruising in the Gulf of Mexico received injuries with the ship, avoiding an object in the water made an unexpected turn. A spokesperson for the cruise line stated that there were 2,052 passengers on board at the time and that none of the injuries were serious. The ship was on its way back to Galveston, Texas, the final leg of a five day cruise.
