What If I Cannot Afford to Hire a Lawyer?

Brais Law operates on a contingency fee basis which means that if we don’t win for you, we get nothing. There is no out-of-pocket expense to our client because our fee comes from a percentage of the compensation we obtain for him or her. Find out what a dedicated cruise accident attorney at our firm may be able to do for you and make sure your rights are protected.

What Kind of Compensation Is the Cruise Line Responsible For?

No blanket statement can answer what compensation can be expected in all cases but a cruise injury lawyer with us can discuss your specific case and possible compensation for:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Medical expenses
  • Lost income
  • And other damages

What is the Death on the High Seas Act?

The Death on the High Seas Act is a maritime law that serves to give rights to a surviving spouse or family member to seek compensation. For instance, if a cruise ship passenger or crewmember is fatally injured in an accident that occurred over three miles out from a U.S. shore, the family can file a wrongful death claim against the liable party.
