The U.S. Supreme Court just ruled 8-1 against Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian, and MSC in one of the most significant cruise industry legal decisions in decades. The case involves the Port of Havana, the Helms-Burton Act, and hundreds of millions of dollars in potential liability.

At Scolaro Law, we fight these same cruise lines every day on behalf of injured passengers and crew members. We broke down exactly what this ruling means, what it does not change, and what every cruise passenger and referral attorney needs to know.

Uber is quietly working to limit what rideshare accident victims can recover after a crash. Through a California ballot initiative, Tallahassee lobbying, and legislation already signed into law here in Florida, the company is systematically dismantling the legal tools that allow injured people to fight back.

The playbook is not new. Florida lived through an almost identical campaign in 2003 and 2004 when the medical malpractice industry used the same rhetoric, the same promises, and the same tactics to cap attorney fees and limit victims' rights. The promises were not kept then. There is every reason to believe they will not be kept now.

We broke down the entire strategy, the history, and what Florida accident victims need to know right now.

Uber is quietly rewriting the rules of rideshare accident litigation, and Florida is directly in its crosshairs.

Most people who get hurt in a trucking accident only know about two parties: the truck driver and the trucking company. What they don't know is that in many cases, there is a third party who chose that trucking company in the first place. That party is called a freight broker.

For years, brokers hid behind a federal law to escape accountability entirely. Last week, the United States Supreme Court shut that door unanimously.

The decision is called Montgomery v. Caribe Transport, and it means that if a broker hired a carrier they knew or should have known was unsafe, they can now be held responsible when that carrier's truck causes a crash.

At Scolaro Law, we have been fighting trucking cases for over 25 years and recovering millions for our clients. This ruling opens a new avenue we are ready to pursue.

If you or someone you love was seriously injured or killed in a trucking accident, read our full breakdown of what this decision means for you.

The Supreme Court just ruled unanimously in a case that changes everything about who can be held accountable when a truck crash destroys a life. If a freight broker put an unsafe carrier on the road, they can no longer hide behind federal law to escape responsibility. Here is what that means for you...

An 88-year-old woman fell off a pier at Carnival's Celebration Key in the Bahamas and died. Her husband watched it happen and jumped in after her. What makes this especially devastating is that Carnival had already seen a child fall from the same pier five months earlier and did nothing about it.

Our attorneys break down exactly what happened, why it was preventable, and what every passenger using a mobility scooter on a cruise needs to know before they board. We also explain what your rights are under maritime law if you or someone in your family has been hurt on a cruise pier, a gangway, or anywhere in connection with a cruise voyage.

The window to act in maritime cases is shorter than most people realize. Read the full article at the link below and share it with anyone you know who cruises regularly.

On May 9, 2026, an 88-year-old passenger fell from the pier at Carnival's Celebration Key destination in the Bahamas and died. Five months earlier, a child had fallen from the same pier. Carnival had been warned. We examine what the evidence shows, what the law requires, and what every passenger usi...

A Florida court just refused to let a hotel escape accountability for what happened to our client.

She was a minor. A predator groomed her online, drove her to a Pinellas County hotel, and sexually assaulted her inside that building. When we filed a lawsuit against the hotel, its first move was to ask a judge to throw the case out before discovery could even begin. Before a single question could be asked under oath. Before a jury could hear one word of what happened on that property.

On May 7, 2026, the court said no.

This is not just a win for our client. It is a signal to every hotel in Florida that operational failures have consequences. Failing to train staff. Failing to monitor guest access. Failing to comply with Florida's human trafficking awareness laws. These are not technicalities. They are legal duties. And when a hotel ignores them and someone is hurt, we are going to be there.

We already secured a seven-figure settlement against the institution whose negligence first put our client in danger. Now we are holding the hotel accountable. The court has cleared the way.

If you or someone you love was assaulted, trafficked, or harmed at a Florida hotel, read our full article at the link below. And then call us. Consultations are free. You pay nothing unless we win.

A Florida court denied a hotel's motion to dismiss in a child sexual assault and trafficking case. Here is what that ruling means for victims of hotel negligence and sexual assault across Florida, and what your legal rights are if it happened to you.

Florida HB 1551 is quietly advancing through the legislature, and most Floridians have no idea it exists. Backed by powerful special interests, this proposed law would effectively shield gun makers from a category of lawsuits that have historically been the only real incentive for safer product design. For ordinary Floridians, law enforcement professionals, and families who have nowhere else to turn, the consequences could be devastating and irreversible.

Most injured cruise ship crew members never file a claim. Not because they were not seriously hurt but because they are afraid of what pursuing one might cost them. Before you make that decision, make sure you’re making it with the full picture.
