Personal Injury
Car Accident Lawyer in Tampa
A Tampa crash can leave you with medical bills, a wrecked car, and an adjuster calling before you have seen a doctor. We take those calls for you, and you pay no attorney fee unless we recover for you.
What To Do After a Crash in Tampa
Call police and get a crash report, photograph the vehicles and the scene, and get checked out by a doctor even if you feel fine. Florida PIP requires treatment within 14 days of the accident or you can lose that benefit entirely. Do not give the other driver's insurer a recorded statement, and do not accept a quick settlement before anyone knows how badly you are hurt.
How the Insurance Company Values Your Claim
Attorney Daniels spent years defending insurance carriers, so he has seen the internal math from the inside: gaps in treatment, missing records, and early recorded statements are what drive an offer down. We build the file the way the other side is going to test it, with complete medical documentation, wage loss proof, and clear evidence of liability.
Deadlines That Can End Your Case
Most Florida negligence claims must be filed within two years of the crash, and some claims against government entities have far shorter notice requirements. Physical evidence, dash camera footage, and witness memories all fade quickly, which is why the earliest calls almost always produce the strongest cases.

Common Questions
What does it cost to hire the firm for a car accident case?
Nothing up front. Car accident cases are handled on a contingency fee, so you pay no attorney fee unless we recover compensation for you. The consultation is free.
The other driver had no insurance. Do I still have a case?
Often yes. Your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may apply, and there may be additional policies, such as an employer's, that are not obvious at first. We look for every available layer of coverage.
Do I have to use my own insurance first?
In Florida, yes. Personal Injury Protection pays the first portion of your medical bills regardless of fault, and you must treat within 14 days to keep it. We coordinate that so nothing gets missed.
Should I accept the adjuster's first offer?
Not before an attorney reviews it. Early offers are usually made before the full extent of your injuries and future treatment is known, and accepting one closes your claim for good.
