Accidents in Maryland Ports & Locations
Maryland is one of the oldest U.S. states, and the Port of Baltimore is among the longest-serving ports in America. From the Eastern Shore to the Inner Harbor, Maryland is known for its water access, and many workers in the maritime industry call Maryland home.
Maryland is also one of the East Coast’s prime cruise locations. Several cruise lines operate out of Maryland or visit Maryland’s shores on their trips along the U.S. East Coast.

Were You Injured on a Cruise Ship?
While cruising can be fun, it can also be dangerous. Unfortunately, despite several recent high-profile catastrophes, health and safety risk onboard cruise ships remain common. Embarking, disembarking, taking tenders to shore, and participating in shore excursions are all common causes of cruise-related injuries as well. If you live in Maryland or were injured in a cruise ship accident while visiting Maryland, our lawyers can help you assert your legal rights.

Along with representing cruise passengers and their families, we also represent maritime workers in Maryland based both onshore and on the water.
