Florida Cruise Ship Worker Accident Lawyer
At Friedman, Rodman & Frank, we use decades of experience protecting the rights of injured seamen and their families throughout Florida. Our clients include many different types of injured seamen. Many are cruise ship workers who were harmed while employed by a cruise line. We also can represent fisherman, deckhands, tugboat workers and ferry workers, as well as other workers aboard commercial boats in navigable waters at sea, in rivers, lakes, bays and sounds.
Our personal injury lawyers help these workers obtain fair settlement for their injuries, medical expenses, pain and suffering and temporary or permanent loss of income. We also represent the surviving families of workers killed at sea.
To best represent our clients, we handle maritime personal injury and Jones Act claims, and have the experience and knowledge necessary to recover favorable compensation for injury victims.
About the Jones Act
If you were employed to work aboard a vessel as a seaman, crewman or commercial fisherman, you may be protected by a federal maritime law often referred to as the Jones Act. Under the Jones Act, crewmen who are injured or die through an employer's negligence can hold the employer accountable for the harm caused.
Every personal injury claim related to an accident at sea should be reviewed for possible coverage under the Jones Act. At Friedman, Rodman & Frank, P.A., this is our approach. We also look for other options as well, such as representing our clients in other maritime personal injury claims or wrongful death litigation, depending on the facts of the case.
