Where do I Have to File a Claim Against Carnival Cruise Line?
Though Carnival’s ships have homeports throughout the United States, inserted in each Carnival cruise ticket contract is a venue selection provision requiring a personal injury lawsuit to be filed in Federal court located in Miami, Florida. For example, if a passenger is from Texas and is injured on a Mexican Rivera cruise which left from and returned to San Diego, that passenger must bring a lawsuit in Miami even though the cruise ship never traveled to Florida. With offices located in Miami, our Carnival cruise line accident lawyers are positioned to help our clients with a lawsuit against Carnival.
