You can see in in your mind, just like in a travel brochure – you and your family splashing in the pool, dancing in the nightclub, and going off to sightsee at every new port. But, what happens if you are injured while walking around on board the ship, while diving into the ship’s pool, or while on a shore excursion?

The cruise lines have many restrictions about how a cruise ship injury should be handled. In fact, most cruise ship tickets contain seven to ten pages worth of restrictions, limitations, and requirements that a person must follow if they suffer a cruise ship accident or injury. Although many people feel that they can resolve their cruise ship injury case by themselves, unless you are extremely familiar with the numerous laws that are unique to cruise ship accident claims, it is very easy to lose your rights to make such a claim. Be sure you retain your cruise ship ticket after your injury! Your attorney will need it because it details some of the “special” requirements” that cruise ship lines follow.

The smart thing to do is to retain an experienced cruise ship injury lawyer. You don’t want just any attorney – you want one that has experience with the cruise ship laws since many cruise lines operate under maritime law which is different from the laws on dry land. For example, even though large cruise lines depart from many different ports throughout the United States including Galveston, Texas, New Orleans, Mobile, Alabama, and numerous other ports on the East and West Coast of the United States, most cruise ship tickets require any cruise injury claim to be brought in Federal Court in South Florida.

An experienced cruise ship injury lawyer should be extremely familiar with many of the cruise ship laws which are unique to cruise ship accidents. These include:

a one year Statute of Limitations in most cruise ship accident cases;
venue provisions which require most claims to be brought in Federal Court in South Florida;
pre-suit notice requirements;
choice of law provisions required by passenger tickets; and
jurisdictional issues depending on whether the ship is in territorial waters.

Enjoy your cruise vacation and have a great time. But, be aware that if you are injured while on your vacation, you need to talk to an experienced cruise ship accident lawyer as soon as you get back to dry land so you can protect your rights.

In an attempt to carry on in his great Rhett Butler tradition, Gone With The Wind star Clark Gable once again flexes his muscular charms in another Civil War-era movie about the torrid romance between a plantation owner and a half-caste beauty. Directed by Raoul Walsh, and also starring Yvonne De Carlo and Sidney Poitier, the film is highlighted by a stunning musical score by Gone with the Wind composer Max Steiner.

Sidney Poitier, in the beginning of his career, fires up the screen in the Civil-War-era bodice-ripper Band of Angels. The movie follows Amantha Starr (Yvonne De Carlo, later on The Munsters), a Southern belle whose fortunes fall when her father dies and family secrets come to light. She ends up under the protection of Hamish Bond (Clark Gable, close to the end of his long, remarkable career and still radiating an easy, charismatic masculinity), a plantation owner with secrets of his own. For much of the movie, slavery and the Civil War are just a colorful backdrop for a turgid romance–but just when you’re ready to write the movie off, a scene unexpectedly digs into something more emotionally and politically complex. Poitier plays Bond’s plantation foreman; every time he appears, Band of Angels turns into something fierce and promising. That promise never fully takes hold–Clark Gable is the movie’s hero, not Poitier–but those crackling scenes (combined with a surprisingly sexual frankness in a 1957 feature) make Band of Angels more than just an embarrassing collection of manly swaggers, flashing eyes, and lugubrious spirituals. –Bret Fetzer
