Tampa lawyers by case type
Florida
The rules that shape your claim
Filing deadline
2 years
For most injury claims (Fla. Stat. § 95.11(4)(a)). 2 years for negligence claims that arose on or after March 24, 2023 (HB 837). Older claims had 4 years.
Fault rule
Modified comparative fault (51% bar)
You can recover as long as you were not more than 50% at fault, and your award is reduced by your share of the blame. Medical malpractice cases still use pure comparative fault. (Fla. Stat. § 768.81)
Car insurance
No-fault state
Your own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage pays your medical bills and some lost wages first, no matter who caused the crash. You can sue the at-fault driver only if your injuries meet the state's threshold.
Pending attorney review. General information, not legal advice. Deadlines can be shorter for claims against government agencies and for some case types.

FAQ
Tampa personal injury questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida?

What if I was partly at fault for my injury in Florida?
You can recover as long as you were not more than 50% at fault, and your award is reduced by your share of the blame. Medical malpractice cases still use pure comparative fault. (Fla. Stat. § 768.81)
Is Florida a no-fault car insurance state?
Florida is a no-fault state. Your own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage pays your medical bills and some lost wages first, no matter who caused the crash. You can sue the at-fault driver only if your injuries meet the state's threshold.
How much does a personal injury lawyer in Tampa cost?
Most personal injury lawyers work on contingency: they take a percentage of what you recover and nothing if you lose. Percentages, and whether case costs come out before or after the fee, vary by firm, so compare fee agreements in writing.
How are the Tampa lawyers on this page ranked?
By a 100-point score. Half comes from each firm's average position in Google Maps results for "personal injury attorney" and "car accident lawyer" searches in Tampa; half comes from its Google rating, weighted so that a high rating from many reviews beats a perfect rating from a handful. Firms need at least 25 Google reviews, a 4.0+ rating, and a Google listing as a personal injury attorney. We are checking each ranked firm against the state bar. No firm can pay to change its rank.
