TAMPA AUTO ACCIDENT LAWYER

Car accidents are a daily reality in Tampa, from congestion on I-275 and I-4 to frequent crashes on US-41 and the Selmon Expressway. Commuter traffic, tourism, and large events near Raymond James Stadium and the University of South Florida add to the risks on already busy roadways. These crashes can leave victims with painful injuries, costly medical bills, and insurance companies eager to minimize payouts.

​

LK Law represents auto accident victims throughout Tampa and Hillsborough County with a focused, detail-driven approach. Our mission is clear: protect your claim, push back against unfair insurance tactics, and fight for the compensation you need to move forward.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE THAT MATTERS

Marion County drivers face very different risks than those in larger metro areas. Crash data from FDOT highlights problem zones along I-75, SR-200, and SR-40, as well as heavily traveled stretches through Silver Springs, Belleview, and Dunnellon. The mix of rural highways, seasonal visitors, and daily commuters creates conditions where serious wrecks are unfortunately common.

​

At LK Law, we bring a local perspective to every case in Ocala and across Marion County. From understanding how collisions are investigated on rural roads to knowing the procedures in local courts, our focus is on giving clients practical guidance and relentless advocacy from the moment they call us until their case is resolved.

What to Do After a Crash in Tampa

Tampa drivers face a unique mix of risks, from crowded interstates to event traffic near Raymond James Stadium and downtown. If you’re involved in a crash here, it’s important to take the right steps to protect both your health and your legal claim:

  • Seek medical treatment within 14 days (to protect your PIP benefits)

How long do I have to file a claim after a Tampa car accident?

For accidents that happened on or after March 24, 2023, Florida law gives you two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. This change cut the old four-year deadline in half. If your accident happened before that date, the four-year time limit may still apply.

​

Because deadlines can be tricky, it’s always best to talk with an attorney right away so evidence and witness statements don’t get lost over time.

Do I need to go to court for a Tampa auto accident case?

Not always. Many Tampa auto accident claims are resolved through negotiations with the insurance company and never reach a courtroom. However, if the insurer refuses to make a fair offer, filing a lawsuit in the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit (Hillsborough County) may be necessary.

​

Even when a lawsuit is filed, most cases still settle before trial. LK Law prepares every case as if it will go to trial, so you’re in the strongest position whether it resolves at the negotiating table or in court.

How much does it cost to hire LK Law for an auto accident case?

There is no upfront cost to hire LK Law for an auto accident case. These cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, which means the attorney fee is a percentage of the recovery and is only collected if we obtain compensation for you.

The percentage and terms are explained in writing before representation begins, in compliance with Florida Bar rules on contingency fees. You’ll also receive a clear explanation of potential costs and expenses, such as medical record fees or expert witnesses, so there are no surprises.
