Miami is one of the most popular destinations for travelers across the globe. So it comes as no surprise that Port Miami ranks as the cruise capital, as well as the largest passenger port in the world. Port Miami is also one of the largest cargo ports in the United States, employing over 175 thousand workers and crucially impacting the Florida economy by generating nearly $1.5 billion in state and local taxes.
However, we can look at Port Miami like any other port, with heavy machinery operating seemingly everywhere, with water and other liquid on the ground. Management and other port-appointed employees are human and can make various mistakes that may result in personal injuries.
