Tampa Attorney for Personal Injury and Wrongful Death in Auto Accidents

Each year in Florida, there are more than 250,000 auto accidents, or about 700 per day. Approximately 80% of these accidents result in some kind of personal injury with more than 3,000 dying from their injuries. The Tampa Bay area sees its share of auto accident deaths. In Hillsborough County alone, there are more than 20,000 accidents per year resulting in about 200 deaths. Many more fatal auto accidents occur in Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando, Manatee, Polk, and other central Florida counties.

While some auto accidents are truly accidents without anyone being at fault, most fatal auto accidents are caused by negligence. Whether it's a DUI in St Petersburg, racing cars down public roads in Clearwater, or reckless driving in Tampa, if someone is killed in an auto accident, their family deserves to be aware of their rights and compensated for their loss. The best place to start is by contacting a Tampa personal injury attorney who is experienced in wrongful death cases caused by auto accidents.

Many family members and loved ones hesitate in pursuing a wrongful death claim caused by a car accident, and that hesitation is perfectly understandable considering the grief and pain the family is experiencing. But hesitation can also be a significant mistake. Once the grief and pain subsides, families want answers to their questions regarding how the vehicle accident happened. Many times, although not initially, they want justice in the name of their loved one. But delay in hiring a law firm after a wrongful death caused by an auto accident can result in lost evidence at the scene of the accident, witnesses forgetting significant details, or witnesses disappearing altogether.
