Injuries can happen
even when we are on vacation. Slip and
falls are common among those embarking on cruises to the Caribbean during the
summer months. What many people don’t realize is that cruise liner accident cases are handled in a different manner
than other personal injury cases.
Onboard slip and falls
can happen when embarking or disembarking on the gangplank, around the swimming
pool, and around other dangerous conditions.
In many cases, the passenger will be able to hold the ship responsible
and receive compensation. However, International
and national cruise liners have passengers sign an agreement to have their case
heard in a court of the ship’s choosing before boarding. However, this does not necessarily mean that
you need to travel to Florida to have your case heard. The boating accident attorneys at the Law
offices of Louis D. Stober, Jr., L.L.C. can serve as your local counsel,
working in association with an attorney in Florida.
