We Know the Tampa, Florida Legal System
Our car accident lawyers in Tampa understand the local legal system because they’ve worked within it for years.
Florida has several different statutes of limitations, or filing deadlines, depending on the type of car crash claim:
- Two years from the date of accident for personal injury (negligence) claims beginning March 24, 2023
- Four years from the date of the accident for personal injury claims occurring March 23, 2023, or before
- Two years from the date of the death for wrongful death claims
- Four years for claims against the government or government agencies; but notice is required within 3 years. Consulting with an attorney can be crucial in these cases.
- Two years from the date of accident for property damage beginning March 24, 2023
A single accident can trigger multiple statutes of limitations at once. For instance, if one person is injured, another person dies, and a vehicle is damaged, the personal injury, wrongful death, and property damage deadlines would all come into play. There are also limited exceptions that can pause, or toll, these deadlines, including:
- Legal incapacitation: If the plaintiff or victim is legally incapacitated, such as in a coma or with a severe brain injury, the statute of limitations may be paused — but these cases are highly fact-specific, and time limits still apply. Call us right away to review your specific deadline.
- A hiding defendant: If the at-fault party leaves Florida or conceals their identity, the deadline may be paused until they are available.
- Minor claims: Claims involving children under the age of 18 can be tolled, but these are nuanced claims, and parents should consult an attorney to discuss their rights and legal options right away.
Our attorneys thoroughly understand these complex laws and can help you navigate the system to ensure your claim is filed well within the deadlines.
How Can an Experienced Tampa Car Accident Lawyer Help?
If you’ve been injured in a car accident and someone else is at fault, a Tampa car accident attorney can help you pursue the compensation you deserve. We’re with you every step of the way, starting with a free, no-obligation consultation.
Explaining Your Options
Every car crash is different, which means every car accident claim is different too. When you call us, your car accident attorney will listen to your story and address your concerns — whether you’re dealing with an uninsured driver, a hit and run, or the challenge of proving the other driver was at fault. We’re here to help you move forward.
We’ll talk about what happened during and after the accident, including whether you have a police report or medical records. If you decide to work with us, that early evidence becomes the starting point for building your case.
One of the most important things we’ll cover at your first meeting is our Free-Fee Guarantee®. This is our promise: you pay nothing unless you win your case. Because we work on a contingency fee basis, our compensation is only a percentage of your settlement if you collect one.
You can afford to hire us.
Demonstrating Negligence
As of March 2023, Florida uses a modified comparative negligence law for car crashes. This law allows you to recover damages if you are less than 50% at fault for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your share of the fault. If you’re found to be 50% or more responsible for the accident, you cannot recover any compensation.
As experienced Tampa car accident attorneys, we understand how to prove negligence in a car accident injury case. Our goal is to demonstrate that the other party breached their duty to drive safely and avoid harm to others on the road, causing the accident that led to your injuries.
We will analyze your case, investigate your accident, gather evidence, consult experts, and build the strongest case possible to pursue the compensation you deserve.
Dealing With Insurance Companies
Florida drivers are typically not required to carry bodily liability insurance coverage. Unfortunately, insurance companies are driven by their bottom lines and, even when a driver does have bodily liability insurance, may attempt to reduce their costs by disputing responsibility, downplaying the extent of your damages, or claiming that your injuries pre-existed the accident.
They might try to tell you that if your health insurance covered your medical expenses, they only must reimburse you for copays and out-of-pocket expenses. They could also try to convince you they don’t have to pay for future medical bills, such as physical therapy you may need but haven’t started yet.
Our team knows every play in the insurance adjusters’ playbook. We are here to protect your rights aggressively and will work to maximize your settlement by standing up to the insurance adjusters and the companies they work for. If the insurer won’t negotiate fairly, we will be fully prepared to take your personal injury lawsuit to trial.
Representing You in Court
We know that filing a lawsuit and heading to court can feel intimidating. Our Tampa car accident attorneys are experienced trial lawyers who will stand by you every step of the way, bringing our signature blend of aggressive representation and genuine compassion for our clients.
We’re well-versed in Florida accident law and the tactics the opposition may use against us. We’ll fight for your rights and help you pursue the compensation you deserve.

FAQs About Your Car Accident Case
What do I do if the insurance company offers me a settlement that’s less than my medical bills and car repair costs?
If the insurance company’s settlement offer is insufficient to cover your medical bills and car repair costs, you should consult with an attorney. We can negotiate with the insurer or take legal action to ensure you receive fair compensation that covers all your expenses.
What do I need to prove to make sure the distracted driver is held responsible?
To hold a distracted driver responsible, you’ll need to prove that the driver’s distraction, whether from texting, talking on the phone, or other activities, directly caused the accident. Evidence such as phone records, witness testimony, and traffic camera footage can help establish their liability.
What happens if the other driver was at fault for running the red light? How can I prove their negligence in Tampa courts?
If the other driver ran a red light and caused the accident, you’ll need to prove that the driver violated traffic laws and caused the crash. Evidence such as traffic camera footage, witness statements, and the police report can help establish their negligence in court.
Can my attorney help me make sure the driver’s insurance company doesn’t take advantage of me?
Yes, your attorney can protect you from insurance adjusters’ tactics. We will handle all communications with the insurer throughout the claims process, protecting you from pressure to accept a lowball offer and helping you secure a fair settlement for your injuries and damages.
What can I do if the insurance companies try to downplay my injuries or accuse me of being at fault for the crash?
If the insurance companies try to downplay your injuries or blame you for the accident, we will gather evidence to support your case, such as medical records, accident reports, and witness testimony. Our goal is to ensure you’re treated fairly and receive proper compensation.
Since I’m an independent contractor (or employed by a delivery company), how can I claim lost wages if I’m unable to make deliveries for a period?
As an independent contractor or delivery driver, you can claim lost wages by providing proof of your regular income, such as delivery logs, payment records, and tax returns. Your attorney can help you calculate these losses and include them in your personal injury claim.
