Financial Recovery After a Cruise Ship Accident in Florida
Recovering from injuries sustained in a serious accident can be costly. Our personal injury lawyer will collect receipts, bills, and other documents that support the value of your compensation request. Damages we demand on your behalf can include:
- Past and future medical bills
- Past and future income loss
- Loss of future earning ability
- Disability and disfigurement
- Physical pain and suffering
- Mental and emotional anguish
If your family lost one of its members in a cruise ship accident, we will demand wrongful death damages on your behalf. They can include funeral and burial expenses, loss of your loved one’s income, and loss of their contributions to your family. You have our heartfelt condolences and our commitment to fight for you.
Personal Injury Time Filing Deadlines in Florida
Florida law limits how long you have to file a lawsuit after a negligence-based injury. Recent changes to the law even further limit the filing deadline, reducing it from four years to two. According to Florida Statutes § 95.11, you generally have two years:
- From the date of the accident to file your personal injury lawsuit
- From the date of a loved one’s demise to file a wrongful death lawsuit
Even with these recent changes in place, complying with the statute of limitations is a mandatory part of your case. If the filing deadline expires, you could be prohibited from filing your lawsuit at all. Our legal team works hard to accurately interpret and comply with the filing deadline.
