Serving accident victims across Pinellas County

Pinellas is Florida’s most densely populated county, and its packed roads produce constant serious crashes — on Interstate 275 through St. Petersburg, U.S. 19 (one of the most dangerous roads in America for pedestrians and drivers alike), Ulmerton Road, Gandy Boulevard, Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard, and the Howard Frankland and Sunshine Skyway bridges. Beach traffic on the barrier islands from Clearwater Beach to St. Pete Beach adds tourists and rental cars to the mix.

After a serious wreck, many Pinellas victims are treated at Bayfront Health in St. Petersburg or Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater before the medical bills and adjuster calls begin. Clearwater is the county seat, and injury cases for county residents are generally pursued there — Pinellas County sits in Florida’s Sixth Judicial Circuit.

Pinellas County injury FAQ

I was hit crossing U.S. 19. Do pedestrians have a claim?

Often, yes. Pedestrians and cyclists hit by cars can recover from the driver’s insurance — and sometimes from other coverage you didn’t know applied. Don’t assume you have no case.

The crash happened on the Howard Frankland — which county is my case in?

Bridge crashes raise venue questions most people never think about. We sort that out for you — it’s part of what a lawyer is for.

What if I was partly at fault?

Florida law may still allow recovery when fault is shared, but the rules are strict and the insurance company will use them against you. Get advice before you accept blame.
