I was on a cruise in Feb 2005, leaving and returning in Miami, FL. On the morning of the last day, I fell over a raised threshold at a doorway. Broke my foot, still having problems, and so forth.

After contacting the cruise line, decided I needed a lawyer. Meet with him about 7 months after it happened. He writes letters that go unanswered. He said that since I bought the ticket over the phone, from my home in IL, he would be able to represent me. I get a letter from the cruise line on the 1 year anniversary saying the matter is over because of the statute of limitations of 1 year has expired. My lawyer says not to worry, he has already started pursuing things so that is not true.

Well, I got a message from him the other day... He now says I need a lawyer in FL in order to proceed. This is after 11 months of "Pursuing things," keep in mind.
I call a lawyer in FL today, he says, "Limitations have run out, I am out of luck. I should sue the lawyer I had, for negligence."

#1 Can I sue him, (and win)?
#2 How do I find someone that will do it?
#3 How do I know he won't be as bad as the first lawyer?

Any and all help and or advice is greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

how horrid,
saying that the STATUE now has ran out. i am wishing you luck on your intent
to sue,and you should be able to sue successfully with right attorney.

and i am about to sue my ex attorney for NOT filing motions that involved her saying this MANY of times on recording and STILL in the end LIED/almost causing me to miss a chance at my own big suit coming up and these motions needed to be filed as children are involved here.she is being sued as i am already told if you have PROOF as to WHAT was needed to be done and if the OUTCOME of your case would have came out POSITIVE in your favor by these motions being filed,then i am going to rightfully win

so good luck,just keep trying to find the RIGHT ATTORNEY.you can sue him for sure,but if you want to WIN find the best attorney if you CAN afford it.

or do it on YOUR OWN,if like me you have recordings documents stating what the attorney was inclined to do but precluding from doing so until it was TOO
late.

adios!
