About Our Cruise Ship Accident Firm

Not Just Any Attorney Can Practice Maritime Law
Maritime law, also known as admiralty law, is entirely distinct from the “regular” U.S. legal system. It incorporates international law and governs criminal offenses, commercial activities, and injuries that occur at sea. Cruise ship injuries fall under this branch of the law, and cruise ship accident cases can be particularly complex.
You can’t just walk into any personal injury law firm in Florida and expect their attorneys to be qualified to handle cruise ship accident cases. At Madeleine Q. Mannelo, P.A. all of our partners have been handling cruise ship injury cases for decades.
We have learned the ins and outs of this complex area of the law by going up against large cruise lines, and we can look at your case from many different angles to come up with the strongest possible arguments in your favor. Our lawyers have also helped passengers and cruise ship crew members fight for the monetary compensation they need after an accident, so we understand how to litigate both cases.
Serving Clients throughout South Florida
Madeleine Mannello, P.A. is more than just a firm; we are an active part of our community and truly care about the people who live and work around us. We are dedicated to serving South Florida residents and visitors to South Florida who were injured aboard a cruise. We believe that whenever someone is injured as a result of the negligence of a cruise line, that cruise line needs to be held accountable and compelled to provide the compensation the injured party needs to move on with their life.
Many cruise lines, despite sailing from ports around the United States and the world, have contractual “venue” provisions in their tickets that require you to file suit, if at all, in Federal Court located in Miami-Dade, Florida. That is why you need a South Florida cruise accident firm like Cruise Ship Accident Lawyer Madeleine Mannello.

We Work on a Contingency Basis – Here’s Why
If you or someone you love has recently suffered a cruise ship accident, you have enough to worry about. You may still be recuperating in the hospital, struggling with large medical bills, and wondering how you are going to move on from all this. You shouldn’t have to worry about attorney fees and the cost of representation on top of everything else.
That’s why at the Law Office of Madeleine Mannello, we are committed to working on a contingency basis. That means we do not ask our clients to pay anything until we recover the compensation they deserve. This allows us to provide a high level of representation to folks who would not otherwise be able to afford expensive legal fees. This levels the playing field with the cruise lines, who have nearly unlimited resources. With our contingency policy, you stand much to gain by working with Madeleine Q. Mannello.
