More details to this question:
I am from buffalo, ny. I went on a cruise jan 5-10. On jan 6 I went to senor frogs in Nassau Bahamas. While there I was sitting in a swinging chair. All if the sudden the swinging chair next to me fell and the pole hit my head. I had a cut and bleed. The rest of the cruise I had a lump and blood. Now it has closed up but I keep getting very bad migraines. Can I sure for damages?

Yes you can retain counsel here in Florida because courts in this state have jurisdiction over cruise ship injury claims. Your passenger ticket will likely confirm that. It's unclear from your post whether the accident happened while aboard the ship. If it happened off the ship you still may have a claim you could bring here against the ship but your passenger ticket may need to be reviewed to ascertain jurisdiction. We can't solicit your case pursuant to ethics rules but you can reach out to one of us for contingency fee representation which means you don't pay anything unless you win.
