// GET THE COMPENSATION YOU DESERVE
Florida is the ideal environment for boats and cruises. Whether they’re fishing, waterskiing or setting off on an international voyage, locals and tourists alike flock to the beaches in Bonita Springs for fun and relaxation out on the water. However, operating a boat or going on a cruise isn’t without its risks. Florida had 735 boat accidents in 2022, resulting in countless injuries and 65 fatalities. These tragic accidents are made even more difficult for the victim and their loved ones by the uphill legal battle many face to receive fair compensation.
While boat accident claims can function similarly to vehicle accident claims, cruise accidents are more complicated since they often take place on international waters. Insurance companies and large corporate interests also have a massive legal army behind them and are willing to use high-priced defense attorneys to intimidate victims seeking fair recovery for their legitimate injuries. The insurance company’s ultimate goal is to defend their client’s negligent behavior to save their profits.
At Kanner & Pintaluga, we will aggressively defend your right to fair compensation. The experienced trial attorneys at our Bonita Springs firm will advocate for your interests in negotiations and litigation and are ready to negotiate for maximum compensation on your behalf.
Boat owners involved in an accident resulting in a critical injury, death, disappearance or property damage exceeding $2,000 must report the incident to authorities under maritime law. Maritime law is a specific set of federal laws and international conventions that are utilized for cases that occur in international waters. Even if the accident occurs close to Florida’s shore, claims involving maritime law will always fall under federal jurisdiction.

At Kanner & Pintaluga, we’ll help you clearly outline who is liable in your claim, regardless of who caused the accident or how many parties are involved.
If the cruise line acted negligently or if they neglected the ship’s maintenance and put passengers at risk, we’ll hold them responsible for the damages you’ve incurred. Alternatively, if defective equipment contributed to your accident, you can file a claim against the boat or cruise manufacturer.
Your claim doesn’t have to be limited to the cruise line. Your attorney can help you recover compensation against third-party contractors if you sustained lasting damage from food poisoning you incurred from catering or got critically hurt while utilizing a cruise’s spa services.
You can even file a claim against a specific crew member for particularly reckless or egregious behavior or against a fellow passenger if they assaulted you. However, these parties may not have the funds to properly compensate you. In those situations, the cruise line may have to compensate you in their stead.
No matter who is at fault, the boat and cruise accident attorneys at our Bonita Springs personal injury law firm will fight to increase your chances of receiving fair compensation that covers all your damages, including medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering.
