Cruise Ship / Boating Accidents

Florida Boat Accident Lawyers


Cruise ShipsWith a large majority of the earth’s surface covered by water, it is no surprise that boating, cruising, and commercial boats are a pastime that millions of people participate in throughout the year. This means thousands of people die in boating / water accidents each year and thousands more are injured.

According to the United States Coast Guard there were 12,438,926 recreational vessels registered by the states in 2010. In the same year, there were 4604 accidents that involved 672 deaths, 3153 injuries and approximately $35.5 million dollars of damage to property as a result of recreational boating accidents.

Some of the claims our firm assists clients with include but is not limited to:


Cruise ships are becoming an increasing popular method of vacationing for many Americans. In South Florida alone there are more than 8 million visitors to Florida’s seaports (Port of Palm Beach, Port Everglades, Port of Miami). With the increase in this form of travel, there has unfortunately been an increase in the number of injuries on board the vessels (slip and falls, negligent security, burns, explosions, pool drownings, medical negligence and wrongful deaths).

The boating accident attorneys at Baker, Zimmerman & Perez have successfully handled cruise ship accident cases both at trial and through settlement. We recently were involved in a catastrophic death claim on behalf of a cruise ship employee who died following an explosion in the boiler room of a Norwegian cruise liner. We are also pursuing cases on behalf of victims and family members of the Costa Concordia cruise ship accident.
