WHY CHOOSE HICKEY LAW FIRM

Maritime injury cases are not handled under ordinary personal injury law. They are governed by admiralty and maritime law. There are specialized statutes and legal standards that apply only to accidents on navigable waters, and Hickey Law Firm is built for these cases. Our founding attorney, John H. “Jack” Hickey, is double board-certified by The Florida Bar in Admiralty & Maritime Law and Civil Trial Law, and board-certified in Civil Trial Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA) – credentials held by very few attorneys nationwide.

Clients choose to work with us because we are:

  • A Miami-based maritime law firm, located in one of the nation’s primary admiralty jurisdictions
  • Nationally recognized for handling serious maritime injury and wrongful death cases
  • A trial-ready legal team prepared to take on vessel owners, operators, and insurers
  • Contingency fee-based, meaning no upfront fees. You only pay if we recover compensation

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • 1 Free Consultations - You’ll speak directly with an experienced maritime injury lawyer who takes the time to understand what happened and explain your legal options clearly.
  • 2 Immediate Action to Protect Your Claim - We move quickly to investigate the accident, secure evidence, identify responsible parties, and determine which maritime laws apply to your case.
  • 3 Focused, Aggressive Representation - Whether your claim ultimately resolves through settlement, arbitration, or trial, we prepare every case as if it will be litigated, because that’s the best way to achieve results.

TYPES OF MARITIME CASES WE HANDLE

We represent people injured in serious maritime and boating accidents, including:

  • Recreational and commercial boating accidents

  • Charter boat, fishing boat, and party boat injuries
  • Cruise ship and excursion-related injuries
  • Crew member injuries and seaman’s claims
  • Maritime wrongful death cases

IMPORTANT DEADLINES YOU NEED TO KNOW

Maritime injury claims are controlled by admiralty and maritime law, not standard state injury deadlines.

Depending on the type of case:

  • Passenger claims for cruise ship injuries may be limited to one year
  • Seaman’s claims may allow up to three years
  • Certain cases must be filed in specific courts
  • Reporting an accident alone does not preserve your legal rights

Waiting can cost you your case, so don’t delay. Call now.
