Holzberg Legal | Your Maritime and Personal Injury Lawyers
New York Cruise Ship Injury Lawyer
New York City. The Big Apple. A city that never sleeps — and for good reason. From the bright lights of Times Square to the iconic Statue of Liberty, NYC offers a little bit of everything. It’s also one of the busiest cruise departure points in the world. Whether you’re sailing down to the Caribbean, heading for Bermuda, or crossing the Atlantic, New Yorkers love a good cruise.
But when things go wrong at sea — slips, falls, medical malpractice, or worse — you need an experienced cruise ship injury lawyer who knows maritime law inside and out. That’s where we come in.
At Holzberg Legal, we’ve spent over 40 years helping clients from all over the U.S., including New York City, get the justice they deserve after cruise ship injuries. We specialize in maritime law and personal injury cases, and we fight to ensure you and your family are properly compensated for your pain and suffering.
