Nationally Recognized Cruise Ship Lawyers, Representing Cruise Passengers, Crewmembers & Victims of Sexual Assault / Rape

Nationally Recognized Cruise Ship Lawyers passenger injury attorneys and cruise accident lawyers strictly represent those whose lives were impacted by the negligence of cruise lines. Cruise lines have teams of lawyers who immediately investigate shipboard passenger claims with the objective of benefiting their employer.

Don’t be a victim twice; initially when you suffered an injury while traveling as a passenger aboard a cruise ship and, later, by failing to hire experienced and accomplished attorneys to protect your right and hold the cruise line financially accountable for your injuries. Hire the Board Certified Admiralty and Maritime attorneys with Brais Law Firm to fight for you.

With over three decades of collective trial experience, our cruise ship accident attorneys in Miami, Florida understand cruise ship accident claims and the defenses the cruise lines will likely assert. Having expertise in maritime law sets us apart from other firms that are familiar with bringing “land-based” claims. Maritime law has its own filing requirements and conditions which are different from other areas of law.
