The Cruise Line Has Lawyers. You Should Too.

Cruise lines start protecting themselves the day a passenger gets hurt. Cruise injury claims follow maritime law and the fine print in your ticket, not the usual injury rules in your home state.

The clock starts the day you're hurt

Many cruise tickets require written notice of a claim within 180 days and a lawsuit within one year. Miss either one and your claim may be lost.

Your ticket decides where you sue

Many major cruise lines require injury lawsuits to be filed in federal court in Miami. Our trial lawyers practice right here.

Maritime law is its own field

Passenger injury claims fall under general maritime law, and crew injuries often fall under the Jones Act. We focus on these cases.

  Spencer Aronfeld and his film were recommended to me because I didn’t know I needed a Maritime Attorney. I was also told that they were the best in the business, and they absolutely lived up to that. His Team worked tirelessly and Mat tHayashi  I know put in a lot of time on my case and even met with me on a Saturday. I can’t say enough about them and how happy I am with the results. Definitely would recommend them to anyone who needed a Maritime Attorney.

  I attended Florida Plaintiff’s Personal Injury Starter Pack: A Forms and Checklists Guide this morning knowing that Spencer Aronfeld was a presenter. He shared actionable strategies for building solid cases from day one. I hope that he finds time to participate in future courses.

More than just a law firm, they are family!

I honestly don’t even know where to start with how grateful I am for Spencer and his entire team. From the very first day, Spencer wasn't just my lawyer; he was in my corner emotionally, too. This process was so hard, but he really treated me like family through every high and low.

The moment I knew Spencer was different was when we finally WON the trial against Carnival Cruise line and Jury read the verdic, he was actually more emotional than I was! To see a lawyer put that much of his heart and soul into his work shows that he doesn’t just see people as "clients" he truly cares. It’s clearly his passion to help people, and you can feel that warmth in everything he does.

And it’s not just him. His whole team is a blessing. Anna is an absolute angel, and then you have his "quiet warriors" behind the scenes—Matthias and Adrian. They work miracles In the background  to keep everything moving.

I even got to meet Spencer’s family—his beautiful wife and his amazing son and daughter. They are just such warm-hearted, wonderful people. You always hear those typical jokes about lawyers being cold, but Spencer is the complete opposite. He is raising the bar for how people should be treated.

I can’t sing their praises enough. I am just so incredibly grateful to Spencer, his family, and his awesome team. If you want someone who will fight for you with their whole heart, this is where you go.

  Extreme bad service coming from the secretary. You necessarily need to change your secretary so that you can have better business I believe

  Good Day Everyone,

Richard and I are very pleased with the professionalism from Aronfeld full staff. Working with Ana Soto in the beginning gathering all our paperwork was a breeze. Latrice Clark would call to confirm any Doctor appointments we had.

Mr. Spencer along with Adrian Baez made us comfortable on our virtual call. It was like talking with the family, ensuring he would do his best representing us.

After off loading all of our information, it was a matter of time when we got our "Congratulation" email Hooray!

It was a relief from the beginning not to worry about all the legal preparation and time consuming ordeals. I would highly recommend Aronfeld Trial Lawyers.

Sincerely,
Jodie Rodriguez
In Behalf of Richard Jimenez
