For more than 30 years, Spencer Aronfeld has successfully represented injured passengers in claims against Carnival Cruise Lines. We believe that the most important legal obstacle that an injured passenger faces in making a claim against Carnival is to preserve their legal rights by filing their claims timely in the United States Federal Court in Miami. Carnival, like most international cruise lines, requires that passenger injury lawsuits be filed within one year of the date of the incident. Which makes each passenger injury lawsuit by definition a “federal case.”

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE

Accordingly, we urge anyone who has been involved in an accident during their Carnival cruise to consult with an experienced and aggressive maritime lawyer–quickly. Important evidence such as CCTV footage of the incident, maritime data regarding the wind and wave conditions, and the names of witnesses and crewmembers are often lost or difficult to locate with the passage of time.

Generally speaking, the sooner a claim can be initiated the better the result for our clients will be. Therefore, we file passenger injury lawsuits against Carnival for various types of accident claims as soon as possible. Generally speaking, we do not take a case that we do not believe should be filed.

Perhaps the most common cases against Carnival involve people who have slipped or tripped on the ship in their cabins, pool deck or at one of the buffets. With injuries ranging from broken arms and legs to more serious head, neck and brain injuries often resulting in lost wages, astronomical medical expenses, and pain & suffering.

It is very important, to understand that not every fall or injury is a bona fide claim. Simply because someone gets hurt on a cruise ship does not mean that it is necessarily the cruise line’s fault. Understanding the significance of a simple accident and a meritorious legal claim is crucial- and we pride ourselves in knowing the difference.

Carnival’s corporate headquarters and the in-house legal department is based in Doral, Florida, a busy suburb of Miami. Their offices are conveniently located just a few miles from the Port of Miami and the United States Federal Courthouse–where any cruise ship passenger accident claim against Carnival is required to be filed.
