Financial Recovery for Cruise Ship Accident Victims
The injuries you sustain while cruising can have immediate and long-lasting financial implications. When our personal injury lawyer represents you, the damages they demand on your behalf can include:
- Past, present, and future medical bills
- Past, present, and future lost wages
- Loss of the ability to earn in the future
- Treatment-related travel expenses
- Lasting disabilities or disfiguring injuries
- Ongoing physical pain and suffering
- Ongoing emotional pain and suffering
- Wrongful death damages, if applicable
Our case assessment team will create a carefully detailed list of your recoverable damages. To create a thorough list, we obtain your medical records and bills, written prognosis, and employment records. Our goal is to avoid having your case undervalued or underpaid.
The Personal Injury Statute of Limitations in Miami, FL
Florida Statutes § 95.11 determines the filing deadline of your case. It generally gives you two years to file your personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. While complying with the filing deadline is mandatory, it can also be complicated for the following reasons:
- Florida’s personal injury statute of limitations recently changed from four years to two
- The filing deadline can fluctuate based on the injured party’s age and other factors
- The outcome of your accident can affect the applicable statutory clock
- Specific actions taken by the negligent party could affect the applicable statutory clock
Let our cruise ship accident attorney handle this for you. We will accurately interpret the filing deadline and work hard to comply with all notification and filing deadlines. This important step avoids the possible loss of your right to demand compensation from the negligent party.
