First Steps

What to do after an accident in Tampa

What you do in the first hours and days can make or break your claim. Here’s a simple checklist.

Get safe & call 911

Move out of traffic if you can and report the crash to Tampa Police or the Florida Highway Patrol. A police report creates an official record.

See a doctor

Get checked even if you feel okay. Some injuries surface days later, and gaps in care hurt your claim.

Document everything

Photograph vehicles, the scene and injuries. Collect names, insurance info and witness contacts.

Don’t give a recorded statement

The other driver’s insurer may call quickly. You are not required to give them a recorded statement.

Keep your records

Save medical bills, the crash report, repair estimates and any time missed from work.

Talk to an attorney first

Before accepting any settlement, get a free case review. Early offers are often far below fair value. Call any time at (813) 445-8739.

Know Your Deadlines

Florida injury claim deadlines & fault rules

Type of claim (Florida)Deadline to file
Most negligence injury claims (car, truck, slip & fall)2 years
Wrongful death2 years
Medical malpractice2 years*
Claims against a government entityNotice rules apply

*Medical malpractice runs 2 years from discovery, up to a 4-year outer limit in most cases. Deadlines shown reflect Florida Statute § 95.11 as amended by HB 837 for claims accruing on or after March 24, 2023. Other claim types and exceptions exist — confirm your specific deadline with an attorney.

The clock is shorter than it used to be

For accidents on or after March 24, 2023, Florida cut the deadline for most injury lawsuits from four years to two years. Florida also follows modified comparative negligence: you can still recover if you were partly at fault, but not if you were found more than 50% responsible. Talking to a lawyer early protects your right to file.

Common Questions

Tampa personal injury FAQ

How much does a Tampa personal injury lawyer cost?
We handle injury cases on a contingency-fee basis. That means no upfront cost and no attorney fee unless we recover compensation for you. The initial consultation is always free — call (813) 445-8739 any time, day or night.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?
For most negligence-based injury claims that occurred on or after March 24, 2023, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit under Florida Statute § 95.11 (the previous deadline was four years). Claims against a government entity follow different rules with shorter notice deadlines, so it’s best to speak with an attorney promptly.
What types of cases do you handle?
Car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle crashes, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, slip-and-fall and premises liability, rideshare (Uber and Lyft) accidents, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death claims throughout Tampa and Hillsborough County.
Can I call after hours or on weekends?
Yes. The Tampa office is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Accidents don’t happen on a 9-to-5 schedule. Call (813) 445-8739 any time, day or night.
What should I do after a car accident in Tampa?
Call 911 and get medical attention even if you feel fine, photograph the scene, exchange insurance information, request the crash report, and avoid giving the other driver’s insurer a recorded statement. Then contact a personal injury attorney before accepting any settlement offer.
What if I was partly at fault for the accident?
Under Florida’s modified comparative negligence law, you can still recover damages if you were partly at fault — but only if you were 50% or less responsible. If you’re found more than 50% at fault, you generally can’t recover. Your compensation is reduced by your share of fault.
What areas in Tampa Bay do you serve?
Our office is at 1745 E Hillsborough Ave, Tampa, FL 33610, and we serve clients across Tampa and Hillsborough County, including Brandon, Riverview, Temple Terrace, Plant City, Town ‘n’ Country, Carrollwood, Lutz, Valrico and Apollo Beach.
Will my case have to go to trial?
Most injury cases settle without a trial. We work to negotiate a full and fair settlement with the insurance company while preparing every case as if it will go to trial — so we’re ready to litigate if the insurer won’t make a fair offer.
