Getting Help After a Princess Cruise Line Accident in Miami
Let our Miami maritime attorneys investigate your Princess Cruise line accident and collect evidence that allows us to build a strong case on your behalf.
Sailing on a cruise ship is a dream for many people, but it can become a nightmare if you suffer an accident while onboard. Dealing with your injuries can be overwhelming enough without knowing how to hold the negligent parties accountable for your injuries. Unfortunately, if you suffered a Princess Cruise ship injury in Miami, such as a slip and fall, you may discover that the cruise line has zero interest in resolving your claim.
However, our cruise accident lawyers serving Miami can help you pursue compensation. At Lipcon, Margulies & Winkleman, P.A., we have over 165 years of combined experience in maritime cases. We are committed to providing the highest level of service to our clients.
What to Do After a Princess Cruise Line Accident in Miami?
If you have been hurt on a Princess Cruise line due to the company’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation, and it is vital to collect as much evidence as possible. After the accident, seek immediate medical help from our Miami maritime attorneys. Gather evidence, including photos, reports, medical bills, videos, or other relevant information about your accident. If possible, reach out to someone who may have witnessed the incident.
Then report the accident to the Princess Cruise line but do not accept any settlement offers. The billion-dollar industry will likely offer you far less than your claim is worth. Do not settle or sign any papers without contacting our maritime attorneys at Lipcon, Margulies & Winkleman, P.A. to evaluate your case.
How Does Princess Deal With Complaints By Cruise Passengers?
If you were injured at sea, your passenger ticket contract would determine your duties, obligations, and rights. However, if Princess Cruises fails to perform its obligations and you are injured abroad, or on a shore excursion, you have the right to seek compensation. The company will likely issue an apology and perhaps a coupon for another cruise. Unless you file an injury claim or lawsuit against them, they rarely offer fair compensation.
Various complications may occur in filling your injury claim or lawsuit against the Princess Cruise line on your own. Such obstacles are often complex and include the following:
- Jurisdictional issues
- Accusations of fraudulent claims
- Disclaimers
- Contract clause provisions, such as arbitration clauses
- Statute of limitations
- Physical location at the time of your injury or illness
Due to the complexity of these issues, the strength of your case can depend on some or all of these factors. That is why having one of our skilled cruise ship accident attorneys on your side is vital.
