Tampa Bay Auto Accident Lawyer

A Tampa Bay Auto Accident Lawyer for Every Kind of Crash

Whatever you were driving, or riding, when it happened, we've likely handled a case like yours, and we'll tell you plainly what comes next.

Based in St. Petersburg, we serve clients throughout Tampa Bay — including Tampa, Clearwater, Bradenton, Sarasota, Brandon, Tarpon Springs, and New Port Richey. 

Florida's No-Fault Laws and Your Auto Accident Claim

Florida requires most drivers to carry no-fault insurance, known as PIP, which covers your initial medical bills regardless of who caused the crash. To pursue a claim against the other driver directly, your injury generally has to meet Florida's "serious injury" threshold.



Tampa Bay's busiest corridors, including I-275, the Gandy Bridge, the Howard Frankland Bridge, and US-19, see a steady share of the crashes we handle. Snowbird season and spring break also bring a noticeable rise in crash volume across the region.

What to Do After an Accident

  1. Get Medical Attention First — Get checked out even if you feel fine. Some injuries take hours or days to show symptoms, and treatment creates the medical record your claim will rely on.
  2. Document the Scene — Photos, witness contact information, and a police report can make or break a disputed claim later.
  3. Avoid Giving Recorded Statements to Insurers — What you say early on, even casually, can be used to minimize your claim.
  4. Talk to an Attorney Before You Settle Anything — We'll tell you honestly what your case may be worth before you accept an early offer.

Shared Fault Doesn't Mean No Compensation

Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule, so even if you share some fault for the accident, you may still recover compensation as long as you're not more than 51% responsible. We'll walk you through exactly how that applies to your case, in plain English.

Understanding What You May Be Entitled To

  • Medical expenses, current and future
  • Vehicle repair or replacement costs
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress from the crash itself

No Fee Unless We Recover Compensation

You don't pay anything to sit down with us and find out where you stand. We work entirely on contingency, which means we only get paid if we recover money for you — no upfront costs, no hourly fees, no surprises.

Answers to the Questions We Hear Most

  • What should I do after a car accident in Tampa Bay?

    Get medical attention first, then document the scene and get a police report if possible. After that, call us before you talk to any insurance company, since what you say early on can affect your claim.

  • Does it matter if I was partly at fault for the accident?

    Not entirely. Florida allows you to recover compensation as long as you're not more than 51% at fault, though your recovery may be reduced by your share of the fault.

  • How long do I have to file an auto accident claim in Florida?

    Florida law generally gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a claim, though some cases have different deadlines. The sooner you call, the more options you'll have.

  • What if the accident happened outside St. Petersburg?

    We represent clients throughout Tampa Bay, including Tampa, Clearwater, Bradenton, Sarasota, Brandon, Tarpon Springs, and New Port Richey, and we take cases across Florida when someone needs us.
