I'm not certain of the exact meaning of your question. If it is that you were injured in the course of your employment on your cruise ship, you have the right to make a medical claim. However, this would be governed by your cruise line's employment agreement. Cruise lines, while operating out of U.S. ports and maintaining corporate headquarters in U.S. cities, operate under foreign flags of registry. Therefore, it is possible that coverage for medical expenses would not fall under maintenance and cure under the Jones Act afforded to commercial mariners sailing on U.S. flag vessels.
If your question is not regarding an employment-related injury, but rather, your continued employment, you would need to refer to the guidelines of your employment agreement. That could contain provisions regarding clearance for duty and continued employment. Based on that, you could try to arrange a free initial consultation with an employment attorney. Keep in mind that it would be best if the attorney had insight into cruise line employee employment agreements. Good luck

I was at a party at my boyfriend's college, nearly two hours away from where I live and there were a lot of minors drinking. The cops busted the party and took IDs. I didn't have mine on me, but I gave them my information and they ran it to find out my license number. They gave some people breathalizer tests, but they did not give me one. I asked one officer to give me a breathalizer test, and he said no. Another cop wrote me out a ticket for consumption and told me I have to appear in court on a certain date. The ticket does not have an amount on it that I have to pay, but he said that when I go to court they will set my fine. Since the police did not find me with any alcohol, I did not admit to anything, and they refused to let me take a breathalizer test, is there a way I can get out of this ticket?
In addition, the police officer told me to call the court house in the county that the ticket was issued and talk to them about possibly paying my fine over the phone so that I don't have to drive two hours to appear in court and pay the fine.

If you are in fear for your safety of an aggressive pitbull that keeps jumping your fence, time and time again, coming in your yard to growl and chase your dog and you, into your house, can you shoot it?
Conflict of intrest.
I'm a man living with a woman that's been divorced since 2005. She has sole physical custody of her 10 year old daughter. The ex-husband is the adoptive father and to this day is still contentious and harasses her, sometimes bordering on barratry.
I heard of a tactic where one party uses consultations to eliminate lawyers their opponent can turn to. For example, the wife consults with Attorney A. Attorney A now can't represent the husband because that attorney already consulted with the wife. Doing so would create a conflict of interest and could land Attorney A in trouble. She then moves on getting consultations with Attorneys B, C, D and so on. Thus, all these attorneys are tied to her and can't accept the husband.
First, is this true? Second, I am a potential target of him and am interested to see if I can employ the same tactic.
Thanks for any help.
