About Us
At the Hickey Law Firm, P.A., we are
experienced personal injury attorneys
who can help you in your time of need.
Led by John H. (Jack) Hickey, who used
to be a lawyer for the cruise industry,
he understands how cruise lines work
and will help you fight for your rights
and compensation in the event you're
injured while on a  cruise vacation.
Please view the following slides to
learn more about cruise ship accidents.
H I C K E Y L A W F I R M
Cruise Ship
Injury Claims
If you're injured on a cruise, there are
restrictions on when and where you
can file an injury claim. These are
located in the fine print on your ticket
and include:
H I C K E Y L A W F I R M
Passengers have 180 days after an accident to give notice to the
cruise line of their claim with full details
Passenger must file suit within one year of the accident
Passenger must file suit in the venue location indicated in the
ticket contract (call us for full list)
Cruise Ship Activities Injury
H I C K E Y L A W F I R M
Crusie ships offer many types of
onboard activities. However, if you're
hurt or sick due to unsafe conditions,
you may be able to file a claim. Some
examples include:
Getting food poisoning
Allergic reaction requests and
warnings ignored by a staff member
Over-service of alcohol
Swimming pool accidents
Rock climbing walls accident
Unsecured objects
Escalator and elevator accidents
Legionnaires' Disease
Cruise Ship
Shore Excursion
Injuries
Tender boat accidents
Transport vehicle accidents
Hiking and climbing accidents
Diving and snorkeling accidents
Parasailing accidents
Zip line accidents
H I C K E Y L A W F I R M
Cruise lines often provide shore
excursions for passengers. If you're
hurt during a shore
excursion activity, we can help you
determine liability. These may
include:
Slip and Fall
Accidents
Slip and fall accidents are the number one
cause of personal injury on cruise ships. If
the cruise line fails to maintain safe
conditions, they may be liable. Causes for
unsafe surfaces include:
H I C K E Y L A W F I R M
Poorly maintained Lido or Pool deck
Inadequate lighting
Failure to repair or replace stair railings
Failure to repair worn-down non-skid
deck surfaces
Onboard Medical
Malpractice
If you're sick or injured on a cruise, there
are medical personnel on board to help.
However, they often do not have adequate
training, are provided with only basic
equipment, and many are not licensed in
the U.S. This can pose complications if you
experience medical malpractice on a
cruise. It's imperative that you contact an
experienced lawyer if you suffer medical
malpractice on a cruise ship.
H I C K E Y L A W F I R M
Cruise Ship Safety
Drill Accidents
Cruise lines provide safety drills for
crewmembers and passengers to reduce the
risk of injury or emergency. Unfortunately,
accidents can happen during drills as well. If
an accident occurs to anyone during a safety
drill, the cruise line may be liable if they:
H I C K E Y L A W F I R M
Failed to properly train its employees
Purchased defective safety equipment
Failed to properly maintain safety
equipment
Failed to make sure safety equipment is up
to code
Crewmember and
Seamen Injury
The Jones Act protects the rights of
crewmembers who are exposed to
the perils of the sea and allows them
to sue their employer for the
existence of a dangerous condition
onboard a ship. The crewmember has
to show that the cruise line was
negligent in maintaining proper
working conditions. While it sounds
straightforward, this can be complex
and our experienced maritime
lawyers can help.
