Sean M. Cleary – Miami Personal Injury Lawyer
As a talented Miami personal injury attorney, Sean M. Cleary has helped numerous victims of negligence obtain compensation for their physical, emotional and financial distress. Recognizing the alarming number of injuries that occur at the famed Miami and Caribbean resorts and on cruise ships every year, Mr. Cleary specializes in advancing the legal rights of victims injured at recreation venues. Over the years, he has secured many significant settlements and has become known as a highly skilled Miami resort and cruise ship injury lawyer.
Cruise Ship Injuries: Special Considerations
Miami is home to most of the major cruise lines. Every week, thousands of passengers leave the Port of Miami aboard Carnival, Norwegian (NCL), Celebrity, Royal Caribbean International and other cruise ships to enjoy relaxing, fun-filled vacations. Unfortunately, many of them suffer various injuries while on cruise ships, ranging from food poisoning and bone fractures to brain injury and spinal cord injury. In some cases, these injuries are caused by the negligence of cruise line operators who failed to maintain their premises reasonably safe. Negligence might make them liable for damages sustained by the passengers as a result of their injuries. However, because of special laws applying to accidents occurring at sea, injured passengers often have to initiate legal action very promptly. Usually cruise operators have to be notified about any accidents within a six-month period, and claims against cruise lines typically must be filed within a year.
Resort Injury in Miami
Similar to cruise ship passengers, guests of Miami and the Caribbean's world-renowned resorts also sometimes suffer injuries ranging from bone fractures to serious spinal cord damage. In certain cases, the owners and managers of resorts can be held liable for the damages sustained by victims based on premises liability and negligence. As a seasoned Miami resort injury lawyer, who was employed for several years at Caribbean resorts, Mr. Cleary has many years' experience helping resort accident victims obtain just compensation for their injuries.
Resort and Cruise Ship Injuries: Legal Representation
Because of the strict time limitations and complex laws involved in many cruise ship and resort injury cases, victims usually require the help of qualified Miami resort / cruise ship injury attorneys. As an experienced Miami premises liability and admiralty law practitioner, Mr. Cleary is highly skilled in litigating claims arising from a variety of incidents, including:
- Criminal Assault (Physical and Sexual)
