New York Maritime Lawyer

We Take Recovering Fair Compensation for Maritime Injury Victims Personally

At Brais Law Firm, our attorneys are well-versed in all types of maritime injury cases. We leverage our understanding of both maritime law and marine industry operations to help people who have been hurt at sea and on shore get the compensation they deserve. Partner Keith Brais is certified by the Florida Bar as a specialist in the field of admiralty and maritime law. Additionally, because he spent nearly 20 years working with large maritime employers, insurance companies and cruise lines before deciding to help only injured individuals, he has a firsthand understanding of the tactics that the opposition often uses to defend against accident claims. This means that whether you were injured on a cruise ship that departed from the New York area or were hurt while working on a ship, boat, dock or other maritime structure on or near the Port of New York and New Jersey, Brais Law Firm has the knowledge and experience to fully protect your rights and pursue maximum compensation for your injuries.

The Port of New York and New Jersey Is Home to Three Major Cruise Ship Terminals:

• The Manhattan Cruise Terminal, which is owned by the City of New York and operated by Ports America
• The Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, which is located in the Red Hook section of the borough and operated by the New York City Development Corporation 
• The Cape Liberty Cruise Port situated in Bayonne, New Jersey and operated by the Cape Liberty Cruise Port LLC. 

Not surprisingly, many of the world’s major cruise lines embark and disembark at these terminals, including Carnival Cruise Lines, Norwegian Cruise Line, Crystal Cruises, Cunard Cruise Line, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises and Disney Cruise Line.
