Where to file a claim
In order to sue a cruise line, a passenger must file the lawsuit in the city designated by the company, NOT where you are injured or where you live. For many of the major cruise lines, that means filing a claim in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, elsewhere in Florida, California, or Washington State.
It does not matter where you live. Hickey Law Firm can help if you sustained injuries or trauma while on a cruise. We have over 60 years of combined experience in claims for:

Your Florida lawyers
… for catastrophic maritime personal injury cases
When you get injured on water, the rules are different. Maritime law applies. That is different from state law which most attorneys are familiar with. We specialize in Maritime Law. Most attorneys do not. You need to call a maritime specialist.
We take on the cruise lines and insurance companies for boaters and personal watercraft (jet skis and wave runners) in Florida.
Maritime law applies to injuries on cruise ships, boats, and jet skis. We fight the cruise lines and other major corporations.
Maritime law is specialized. Only a small fraction of lawyers in the United States specialize in Maritime Law. Every lawyer at Hickey Law Firm is a Maritime Law specialist.
Hickey Law Firm handles maritime injuries throughout Florida and the United States. Hickey is Board Certified in two areas: Admiralty & Maritime Law and Civil Trial Law. Board Certification is a rigorous process administered by The Florida Bar. In the process, The Florida Bar verifies by contacting lawyers and judges that the lawyer applicant has extensive experience in the field, is knowledgeable, and is trustworthy. For Civil Trial, The Florida Bar requires a minimum number of trials for every 5 years. For each certification, the lawyer must take and pass an all-day exam. Less than 1% of all lawyers in Florida are Board Certified. Only a handful of lawyers in Florida have two certifications. Hickey has the two most important certifications to handle any serious maritime personal injury or wrongful death claim.
Maritime law applies to:
- Boating accidents including dive boats, fishing boats, charter boats, party boats, speed boats, sailboats, and more
- All personal watercraft accidents, such as those involving Jet Skis, Wave Runners, and all other brands
- Canoeing
- Paddleboarding
- Windsurfing
- Kayaking
- Water skiing accidents
- Parasailing accidents
- Flyboarding
- Swimming
- Snorkeling
- Kite surfing
- Surfing
- Other activities

When the Stakes are High
People Choose Hickey Law Firm. ®
Why Choose Hickey Law Firm?
In the big firms, you are just a number. At Hickey Law Firm, you are one of our team. We are big enough to handle any case in terms of lawyers, staff, and money. And we are small enough to devote attention to you. When people need a specialist in life changing injuries, people choose Hickey Law Firm.
Choosing a law firm is important. We recommend that you look for a firm which is large enough to handle any case but small enough to provide personalized care and advice with uniformly high quality people. That is us. We are the Seal Team 6 of law firms. We did not send in a whole army or navy after Osama Bin Laden. We sent Seal Team 6. Highly specialized. Highly motivated. Highly results driven. That is Hickey Law Firm. No other firm does that.
Look for a firm which assigns a team to you. Here we assign two lawyers and two paralegals to you. One of those lawyers is John H. (Jack) Hickey. No other firm does that.
Look for lawyers who are Board Certified by The Florida Bar and other organizations. John H. “Jack” Hickey is Board Certified by The Florida Bar in two areas: Civil Trial and Admiralty & Maritime. And he is Board Certified as a trial lawyer by a national organization, the National Board of Trial Advocates (NBTA). No other firm has this.
Look for a firm that puts quality over quantity. We don’t have hundreds of lawyers; we have a few. We don’t have thousands of clients; we have a good number. We don’t advertise on TV; we GET interviewed on TV… and in magazines, on radio, in newspapers, and by online media.
We are not for everybody. We are for you, the honest person who was seriously injured.

Testimonials
"Thank you Hickey Law Firm for taking my case and guiding me through the process every step of the way. I trusted your opinion when it came to settling my case and I would recommend you to my family or friends. I wish you continued success in fighting for people.
~ Charles R.
"It was a pleasure working with Jack Hickey and his team of professional. I recommend them to anyone needing competent legal representation especially with regard to personal injuries on the high seas. I found his team to be careful and diligent to focus on details and documentation, and to follow-up on missing pieces of information. Finally communications with the defendant were compelling, and led to a settlement that was greatly appreciated.
~ Dr. Thomas K
"The best decision I ever made to hire Jack Hickey Law Firm. A special thank you to Sarah Lobel and Jack Hickey. Best Attorneys in Florida for sure. Do not hesitate to hire the best, Hickey Law Firm.
