Los Angeles Cruise Ship Accident Attorneys Gerson & Schwartz, P.A. Home
California Cruise Ship Lawyer
If you were injured on a California cruise ship then you should consult a California Cruise Ship Lawyer so you can get a full understanding of your rights and obligations. One of the most important pieces of information is how long you have to file a lawsuit and where your lawsuit needs to be filed.
In many cruise ship accident cases you may only have one year to file a lawsuit. For these reasons, it is important that you have legal counsel to read the terms and conditions of the cruise ship ticket contract. Although you probably didn’t realize it when you bought your ticket, you already agreed to the location where your California cruise ship injury lawsuit must be filed. Many times, that place is located in federal court in Miami, Florida. Some cruise lines companies, however, like Princess Cruise lines require passengers to file lawsuits in California. However, each cruise line operator has different terms and conditions in their ticket contract.
