WHY CHOOSE HICKEY LAW FIRM

Cruise ship injury cases are unlike any other personal injury claim. They are governed by maritime law, strict contract deadlines, and venue rules written by cruise lines to protect themselves – not passengers.

Hickey Law Firm is built to handle these cases. Our founding attorney, John H. “Jack” Hickey, spent nearly two decades representing cruise lines before dedicating his practice to holding them accountable. Clients choose to work with us because we are:

  • A Miami-based firm, which means we’re located where most cruise ship cases must be filed
  • Nationally recognized for cruise ship injury and assault litigation
  • A trial-ready team that stands up against the world’s largest cruise companies
  • Contingency fee-based, which means no upfront fees — you only pay if we recover compensation for you

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • 1 Free Consultations - You’ll speak directly with an experienced cruise ship injury lawyer who listens carefully, explains your rights, and answers your questions honestly and clearly.
  • 2 Immediate Action to Protect Your Claim - We move quickly to preserve evidence, review your passenger ticket contract, and meet notice and filing deadlines. Cruise lines do not give extensions.
  • 3 Focused, Aggressive Representation - Whether through settlement, arbitration, or trial, we prepare every case as if it will be fought in court.

CASE RESULTS THAT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.

$10.5 MILLION+

The largest known crewmember arbitration award, which we secured against Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, including interest.

$9 MILLION

A passenger sexual assault case against a cruise line as a result of negligent security and failure to protect a passenger.

$7.1 MILLION

Cruise-sponsored excursion accident in Cozumel, resulting from an alcohol-fueled event involving unsafe diving conditions. Our client struck his head and was rendered quadriplegic.

$6 MILLION

Passenger fall aboard a cruise ship, resulting in a traumatic brain injury.

TYPES OF CRUISE SHIP CASES WE HANDLE

We represent passengers and crew members harmed by cruise line negligence, including:

  • Sexual assault and rape aboard cruise ships
  • Slip, trip, and fall injuries
  • Cruise excursion accidents
  • Onboard medical negligence
  • Pool, water slide, and ship-activity injuries
  • Elevator and escalator accidents
  • Food allergy and serious illness cases
  • Crew member injuries and maritime claims

IMPORTANT DEADLINES YOU NEED TO KNOW

Cruise ship injury claims are controlled by the Passenger Ticket Contract, not state injury laws.

In many cases:

  • Written notice must be provided within six months (180 days)
  • Lawsuits must be filed within one year
  • Claims must be filed in the specific court named in the ticket contract (often Miami or Fort Lauderdale)

Filing an incident report or writing letters to the cruise line does not protect your claim.

Waiting can cost you your case.
