Florida residents facing maritime law issues have access to attorneys who specialize in offshore injuries, Jones Act claims, admiralty law, cargo disputes, vessel collisions, and maritime contracts. The legal framework in Florida differs from other states in important ways, and the attorneys listed here have experience navigating Circuit Court proceedings and the specific regulations that govern maritime law cases in this jurisdiction.

One of the most important things to know about maritime law law in Florida is the statute of limitations. You generally have 2 years (changed from 4 years in 2023 tort reform) from the date of injury to file a claim. Florida follows modified comparative fault with 51% bar (changed 2023 by HB 837) for determining liability, which directly affects how much compensation you may recover. Cases are filed in Circuit Court, and knowing how local judges handle these matters gives experienced attorneys a real advantage.

The maritime law attorneys listed here practice throughout Florida and can be filtered by location, reviews, and experience. Each profile includes practice area details, office locations, and client feedback. We recommend comparing several attorneys before making a decision — most offer free initial consultations, which gives you a chance to evaluate their approach and determine whether they're the right fit.

Before you choose an attorney, it helps to understand the legal landscape. Read our complete guide to maritime law law in Florida to learn about filing deadlines, state-specific rules, and what damages or remedies may be available in your case. Then use the directory below to find and compare qualified lawyers across Florida.
