Florida is one of the most dangerous states for people on foot and on bikes. When a vehicle hits a person, there is nothing to absorb the impact, so injuries are often severe even at lower speeds. If that happened to you in or around Tampa, Hillsborough County, a free review can help you understand your options before you talk to an insurance company.
What Matters in a Tampa Pedestrian Accident Claim
Severe injury risk
Head injuries, fractures, and internal injuries are common because there is no protection from the impact.
Your own PIP may help
In Florida, your own auto insurance can sometimes apply even when you were walking or biking.
Right-of-way facts
Where the crash happened and who had the right of way are details insurers fight over.
Where Tampa Crashes Happen
Serious Tampa wrecks concentrate on I-4, I-275, and the Selmon Expressway (SR-618), plus the Howard Frankland, Gandy, and Courtney Campbell bridges over the bay. Dale Mabry Highway and the I-4 stretch east of downtown are known for high-speed, high-volume crashes.
After a Serious Tampa Crash
People with serious injuries from a Tampa crash are often taken to Tampa General Hospital, the area's Level I trauma center. Those early records, the trauma team's notes, imaging, and follow-up care, are exactly what a claim is built on later.
Handling a Tampa Injury Claim
A Tampa injury claim generally falls under Hillsborough County and Florida's Thirteenth Judicial Circuit. A free review is just a conversation about what happened and what comes next; there is no cost, no obligation, and no attorney-client relationship unless you sign an agreement.
Florida Deadlines Can Apply
Florida sets time limits on injury claims. Under Florida Statutes § 95.11, many negligence claims have a limitations period (commonly two years for negligence), but the exact deadline depends on your case. Evidence from a Tampa pedestrian accident can disappear quickly, so it is best not to wait to get a review.
