Passenger claims against Carnival Cruise Lines, Inc. on account of the fire aboard its vessel, CARNIVAL SPLENDOR, are maritime personal injury claims. Passengers will face special barriers to making successful claims: They must comply with special laws and provisions that Carnival Cruise Lines, Inc. has caused to be put in place or their claims will fail. For instance, the passenger ticket is a contract requiring the claim first be made directly to the company within six months of the fire. Also, after the company rejects the claim (highly likely), the passenger must file a law suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, at Miami, Florida within one year from the fire's date. Otherwise, the statute of limitations will bar the claim.
The average personal injury attorney is not equipped to effectively represent passengers in this sort of case. On the other hand, Arnold I. Berschler is well positioned to help. He successfully has brought many cases against this company. He now represents another passenger, living in Hawaii, who was injured aboard the CARNIVAL SPLENDOR earlier this year.
