Legal Question in Personal Injury in Bahamas

Re: Injury In Bahamas

Hello,

I am sorry to hear about your injuries. Our firm has handled cases involving injuries in the Bahamas. It is difficult to bring a lawsuit in the Bahamas for a number of reasons. The good news is that you may be able to file a case in Florida because the owner is here. You really should consult as soon as possible with an attorney who has some experience in this area. We would be happy to speak with you about the situtation. Our firm primarily handles personal injury claims, and I am board certified in civil trial law. We offer a free initial consultation.

Qestions:

1) Are we legally compromised being that injury took place in the Bahamas?

Perhaps -- but probably not.

2) Can this be brought before a court in the U.S. ?

Probably. It would depend on the facts specifically and there would be most likely an initial motion to dismiss or to transfer the action to the Bahamas. It will be a close call, but there are a couple of good cases on your side for the court to consider and on which it can rule in your favor.

Re: Injury In Bahamas

The liability law of the Bahamas will control the action but you may sue the owner in their place of residence. It may not be Florida. You may need an attorney in another state to assist in the lawsuit. It is important to show that the owners knew or should have known of the defective railing.
