Tampa Car Accident Attorneys

Tampa traffic punishes the unprepared. I-275 through downtown, the I-4 interchange, the Selmon Expressway and the long runs of Dale Mabry Highway produce collisions every day, and the Howard Frankland and Gandy bridges funnel commuters into bottlenecks where a moment of inattention becomes a serious wreck. If you were hurt in a crash anywhere in Hillsborough County, the Felicetti Law Firm can tell you what your claim is actually worth before an adjuster tells you what they would like it to be worth.

Tampa Bay is also one of the most dangerous metro areas in the country for people on foot and on bicycles. Wide, fast arterial roads with long gaps between crossings put pedestrians and riders at real risk, and those cases often involve serious injuries and a driver’s insurer arguing the victim was somehow to blame.

The personal injury lawyers at the Felicetti Law Firm handle Tampa car and truck collisions, motorcycle and scooter crashes, rideshare accidents, pedestrian and bicycle injuries, and wrongful death claims. Felicetti prepares each case as though it will be tried, and does not hesitate to go to court when an insurer will not pay fairly.

No case is too complex. Consultations are free, and you owe no attorney fee unless we recover money for you. Call Felicetti at (800) 333-1988 at any hour — lines are open 24/7 and se habla español.

Florida Deadlines and Fault Rules That Affect Your Tampa Claim

Florida gives most injury victims two years from the date of the crash to file suit — cut down from four years by House Bill 837 in March 2023. Florida is also a no-fault state, so your own Personal Injury Protection coverage pays the first part of your medical bills no matter who caused the collision, but you must be seen by a doctor within 14 days or you can forfeit that benefit entirely. To step outside no-fault and pursue the at-fault driver for pain and suffering, your injuries generally have to be permanent or otherwise significant. On fault, Florida bars recovery completely if you are found more than 50% responsible, which is why insurers work so hard to shift blame onto you in a recorded statement.

No Injury Is Minor When It’s Your Pain and Suffering

A serious Tampa crash is expensive: emergency care, follow-up treatment, a totalled vehicle, weeks of lost income, and the pain and disruption that do not show up on any invoice. Where someone else’s negligence caused your injuries, you may be entitled to recover for all of it. The Felicetti Law Firm can help you get in front of doctors who understand collision injuries and whose records hold up when the claim is evaluated. Call (800) 333-1988 for a free case review.
