We have been fighting for the rights of injured passengers and crew for over 50 years. We are dedicated to helping our clients recover the compensation they deserve after accidents at sea which are caused by someone else’s negligence. With 19 attorneys in 7 offices nationwide — including our main Miami office — countless awards and accolades, and over $450 million and counting recovered for our clients since we first began the firm in 1971, it is no surprise that Lipcon, Margulies & Winkleman, P.A. has been named to “Best Law Firms”® by US News & World Report since 2016, and 5 of our attorneys named to “Best Lawyers”®.

With 18 commercial seaports and 12 smaller marine ports, Ukraine boasts the highest sea port potential among all the countries surrounding the Black Sea. As a result, Ukraine has seen a host of maritime accidents over the years. From ferry boat capsizing tragedies to cargo vessel collisions to pleasure boat accidents, the waters surrounding this Eastern European nation have often been plagued with maritime tragedies involving both crew members and passengers. Unfortunately, given its proximity to the Black Sea, Ukrainian ports have often provided channels for the smuggling of drugs and illegal goods, which has also led to several crimes and threatened the safety of both residents and tourists.

Yet, despite the propensity of maritime accidents and crimes in the area, there are numerous instances when victims are not able to obtain justice for injuries or wrongful acts that they have suffered at sea. Due to the dangers that the territorial waters around Ukraine can pose, and the fact that safety laws are often disregarded, it is imperative that anyone who has been victimized by a crime or accident on the high seas or in port procure legal assistance as quickly as possible.

Cases We’ve Successfully Handled

Since 1971, we have successfully resolved thousands of maritime cases and obtained hundreds of millions of dollars for our clients. Ours is a tradition of excellence and integrity that we look forward to continuing for another 50 years. Some of our most noteworthy successful results include a more than $6 million award for the wrongful death of a seaman who died aboard a ship after being exposed to poisonous gasses and over $10 million on behalf of crew members of the El Faro, a cargo ship that sailed into a hurricane in 2006, leading to the deaths of all 33 crew members. This is but one example of the countless cases we have successfully resolved in our endless quest to protect those injured or harmed at sea.
