| Our Lead Cruise Ship Accident Lawyer -- Charles Moure |
|
In Miami, Charles mostly handled maritime defense work for vessel owners and insurance companies. Charles then moved to Seattle where he continued defending maritime injury cases but also started taking on more and more cases for those injured on vessels, including cruise ships. Today, Charles almost exclusively represents passengers injured on cruise ships and his maritime practice now focuses on cruise accident litigation. Charles has been handling maritime cases since 1996 and cruise ship cases for nearly a decade. He is widely considered one of the preeminent cruise ship attorneys in the Northwest. Charles is licensed in both Washington and Florida.
Substantial Experience Against Holland America Though Charles handles cruise ship accident cases against all of the cruise line companies, he is particularly well positioned to bring cruise injury claims against Holland America because Holland America's cruise ticket requires its passengers file their lawsuits in Seattle, where Charles is based. Charles is constantly pursuing claims against Holland America and though he has been able to settle some of those without having to sue Holland America, there have been many other times where litigating against Holland America was necessary to secure fair compensation for his clients. Charles has recently brought the following Federal Court lawsuits against Holland America in the Western District of Washington: Wyler v. Holland America Line 01/16/03DiVita v. Holland America Line 05/11/04 Duynhoven v. Holland America Line 11/23/04 Kirk v. Holland America Line 04/17/06 Lacey v. Holland America Line 11/15/06 Balen v. Holland America Line 04/27/07 Dean v.

Charles Moure obtained his law degree from St. Thomas University and went on to secure an advanced degree (LLM) in maritime law from University of Miami. Charles began his maritime practice in Miami, at what was then the largest maritime firm on the East Coast.
