Foreign Claims
U.S. citizens who are injured in some Caribbean Basin countries (or their families if they are killed) may face harsh limits upon claims brought there. Some examples:

   · No right to sue for certain injuries or death
   · No juries / minimal compensation
   · Judicial proceedings conducted in a foreign language

However, some of these foreign limitations may possibly be avoided if the claim can be maintained in a Florida court.

A Florida suit against a foreign defendant may be practical if that defendant has significant economic ties to Florida, as many companies operating in the Caribbean Basin do.

Cruise Line Claims
Passenger tickets issued by some cruise lines (examples: Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Norwegian) require passenger suits against the carrier to be filed in Miami-Dade County (where we practice).

Cruise line tickets typically require a written claim to be filed with the carrier within six (6) months of the incident and a lawsuit, if any, to be filed within one (1) year of the incident.

Representations
If we take a case, we, and not the client, finance the usually considerable costs of preparing the case.

No client reimburses these costs, nor pays us any fee, unless we obtain money compensation for that client. In that event, the client pays us an agreed upon percentage of the recovery as a fee; and also reimburses the actual litigation costs paid by us.

The fee percentages are regulated by the Florida Bar.
