Cruise ship cases are a different animal.
Federal court. Short deadlines. A whole different set of rules than your typical injury case.
I know a lot of attorneys would rather not get involved with them, and I get it. I spent years on the other side defending cruise lines before I started representing injured passengers.
So, attorney to attorney: if a cruise ship case lands on your desk and it’s outside your wheelhouse, don’t overlook it just because it’s unfamiliar territory.
Sometimes knowing who to call is part of taking care of your client.
