A Tampa personal injury lawyer who fights for the whole Bay area
If you were hurt in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater or Lakeland, a Tampa personal injury lawyer from our Rocky Point office can take the insurance company off your plate. We handle car and motorcycle accidents, slip and fall injuries and wrongful death claims across Florida’s Tampa Bay region, in English or Spanish. The consultation is free, and there’s no fee unless we recover.
Hurt in Tampa Bay? The insurer is already working.
We’re sorry this happened. A crash on the Howard Frankland, a fall at a Clearwater hotel or a rideshare wreck on Dale Mabry all start the same way: the insurance company gets to work before you’ve had time to think.
The recorded statement
A friendly call to “get your side.” Anything you say about speed, pain or what you saw can be used to cut your claim.
The blame game
On busy bridges and interstates, insurers point at everyone else. Proving who caused the crash takes evidence, fast.
The fast, low offer
A quick check before you know whether you’ll need surgery or months away from work.
What waiting can cost you
The two-year deadline
Most Florida injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury.
The 14-day PIP rule
After a crash, PIP only pays if you get medical care within 14 days.
Over 50% at fault
If the insurer pins most of the blame on you, Florida law bars your recovery.
The $10,000 PIP cap
PIP is often used up long before a serious injury has healed.
The insurance company has a team. Now you do too.

What we handle
Cases we handle from our Tampa office
A car accident on I-275, a motorcycle crash on Dale Mabry or a slip and fall at a Clearwater hotel: Florida injury law is the same in Tampa as anywhere in the state. Pick your case to see how the law treats it and what we do first. Each guide is written by the same team that will handle your claim.
Car accidents
Rear-end crashes in I-4 traffic, T-bones at busy intersections, highway rollovers. We sort out PIP, the other driver’s insurer and your own uninsured motorist coverage.
Car accidents: how we helpMotorcycle accidents
Florida’s no-fault PIP doesn’t cover riders, so the other driver’s coverage and your own uninsured motorist policy matter even more.
Motorcycle accidents: how we helpUber and Lyft accidents
Passenger, driver or the other car: rideshare crashes bring extra insurance layers, including the company’s policy during a trip.
Uber and Lyft accidents: how we helpPedestrian accidents
Hit in a crosswalk, a parking lot or on International Drive. Your own PIP may pay first, and the driver’s insurer owes the rest.
Pedestrian accidents: how we helpSlip and fall
Wet floors, broken stairs and poor lighting at stores, hotels and apartments. Florida makes you prove the owner knew, or should have known.
Slip and fall: how we helpDrowning injuries
Pools at hotels, apartment complexes and private homes need fences, gates and supervision. When owners cut corners, families pay the price.
Drowning injuries: how we helpWrongful death
When a careless act takes someone you love, we handle the claim with care so your family can grieve without the paperwork.
Wrongful death: how we helpProperty insurance claims
Hurricane, roof and denied homeowners claims, from the first call to the insurer through a lawsuit if it comes to that.

Questions about our Tampa office
No question is a dumb question. Here are the ones we hear most.
Our Tampa office is at 2502 N Rocky Point Dr., Suite 920, Tampa, FL 33607, near the Courtney Campbell Causeway. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30 to 5:30, and calls are answered 24/7.
Yes. Our Tampa office represents injured people across Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Polk counties, including St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Lakeland, Brandon and Wesley Chapel.
Car and auto accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck crashes, Uber and Lyft accidents, pedestrian, bicycle and scooter accidents, slip and fall injuries and wrongful death claims across Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Polk counties.
No. Many clients never visit. We can meet by phone or video, or at your home or the hospital, in English or Spanish.
The consultation is free, and we work on a contingency fee. You pay no attorney’s fee unless we recover money for you.
Ask who will actually handle your case and how often you’ll hear from them, get the fee agreement in writing, read reviews from past clients and confirm the attorney is licensed on The Florida Bar website. A local office also helps, since your claim will likely be filed in a Tampa Bay court.
Most Florida negligence claims must be filed within two years of the injury. Some claims, like those against government agencies, have shorter notice rules, so it’s best to call early.
