Local Guidance from a Tampa Bay Personal Injury Lawyer in Tampa & St. Petersburg
Dealing with an injury in the Tampa Bay area comes with unique challenges. Heavy traffic on I-275 and I-4, backups near the Howard Frankland and Gandy bridges, frequent roadwork, sudden downpours, and crowded streets with rideshares, delivery drivers, and pedestrians all increase the risk of accidents. Add busy nightlife and local events in Tampa and St. Petersburg, and it’s easy to see why collisions happen—and why recovery can be stressful both physically and financially.
At Stallworth Law, we guide Tampa Bay residents on the steps to take after an accident. This often includes obtaining a crash report and confirming which agency responded, whether it’s the Tampa Police Department, St. Petersburg Police Department, Hillsborough or Pinellas County Sheriff’s Offices, or the Florida Highway Patrol. Residents also rely on local resources from the City of Tampa, City of St. Petersburg, Hillsborough County, and Pinellas County for public records and guidance.
Common pain points after an accident include missed work in a commuter-heavy area, multiple medical appointments, and early contact from insurance adjusters before you fully understand your injuries. Whether it’s a car accident, slip and fall, or defective product incident, acting early and documenting everything carefully can protect your claim.
If a lawsuit is necessary, cases may go through the local courts, including the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit (Hillsborough County) or Sixth Judicial Circuit (Pinellas County).
Stallworth Law helps Tampa Bay clients navigate each step, from understanding your rights and gathering evidence to pursuing fair compensation. With local expertise, we handle the legal work so you can focus on healing, knowing a trusted personal injury lawyer team is advocating for you in Tampa, St. Petersburg, and throughout the surrounding communities.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle
What you need to know After an accident
Steps to Filing a Claim
As soon as possible after your accident, you should seek medical attention. Even if you do not think you have been seriously hurt, getting checked out by a doctor is always a good idea. A doctor can help you get the treatment you need, and the medical report can also be used as evidence in your personal injury case.
2. Report the accident.
You should report the incident to the appropriate authorities. If you have been injured in a car accident, you should call the police and report the crash. If you have been injured in a slip and fall, you should report the incident to the property owner or manager. If you have been injured in a workplace accident, you should report the accident to your employer.
3. Document the scene.
While you are at the scene of your accident, you should take the time to document it as much as possible. If you can, take pictures of your injuries, the accident scene, and anything else that may be relevant to your case. You should also ask anyone who saw the accident occur for their contact information.
4. Do not give a statement to the insurance company.
You will likely be contacted by the insurance company within hours or days of the accident. While the insurance adjuster may seem friendly, it is important to remember that they are not on your side. In fact, the insurance company will do everything it can to deny your claim or pay you as little as possible. For this reason, you should not give a statement to the insurance company, sign any documents, or accept any type of settlement offer without first talking to a personal injury lawyer.
At Stallworth Law in Tampa, we can help you file your personal injury claim. We can investigate your accident, gather the necessary evidence, and negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf. If the insurance company is not willing to make a fair settlement offer, we will not hesitate to take your case to trial.
