FloridaMaritimeLawyers.com was created as an independent informational resource focused on maritime and admiralty issues affecting workers, crew members, and passengers connected to Florida waters and ports. Florida’s active maritime economy—ranging from cargo shipping and offshore operations to cruise travel—means many individuals encounter maritime-related questions every year.
This website is not a law firm and does not offer legal advice or legal representation. The purpose of this site is to provide general background information and, when appropriate, allow visitors to request contact from an independent maritime attorney. Any communication with an attorney, if it occurs, is handled entirely by that attorney or law firm.
Maritime law is highly specialized. Laws such as the Jones Act, general maritime law, the Longshore & Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA), and cruise contract terms contain rules and deadlines that differ from standard state laws. Because of this complexity, many individuals choose to consult directly with an attorney who regularly handles maritime issues.
If you have questions about your own situation, you should speak directly with a licensed attorney who can review the specific details of your case.
