Tampa, FL · Hillsborough County
Tampa Slip and Fall Lawyer
Tampa fall cases come from Westshore malls and office lobbies, downtown and Water Street towers, the Ybor City bars on 7th Avenue, and the hotels and terminals at Port Tampa Bay. Florida makes you prove the business knew about the hazard or should have known because it had been there long enough, so we go after the surveillance video, the incident report, and the cleaning logs before they are gone.
Our office is in downtown Orlando, at 450 S Orange Ave, 3rd Floor, Orlando, FL 32801. We take cases in Tampa and throughout the state of Florida, and your free consultation can happen by phone.

Injured in Tampa
Tampa premises cases come from a mix of downtown and Water Street high-rises, the Westshore office towers around International Plaza and Bay Street and WestShore Plaza, the bars and restaurants along Ybor City's 7th Avenue, and the hotels and cruise terminals at Port Tampa Bay. Wet lobby floors, unlit stairwells, broken parking-garage steps, and crowded sidewalks all cause real injuries. Owners must keep these places reasonably safe, and suits are filed at the George E. Edgecomb Courthouse.
How Florida law applies
Florida has specific rules on deadlines, shared fault, and insurance coverage that decide how much you can recover. We explain how they apply to your case, at no cost, in your language.
Full Florida slip and fall guideTampa questions
Where is my Tampa injury case filed?
Tampa is the seat of Hillsborough County, so injury lawsuits from crashes and falls here are filed in the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit at the George E. Edgecomb Courthouse on East Twiggs Street in downtown Tampa. Our office is in downtown Orlando and we appear in Hillsborough County. Most claims settle before a suit is filed, but we build every file for that courtroom.
Who is responsible if I slip and fall on someone's property in Florida?
A property owner or business can be liable when it knew, or should have known, about a dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn you. Florida law requires proving that notice, so we move fast to preserve surveillance video, incident reports, and witness accounts before they disappear.
If I crashed on the Howard Frankland or Gandy Bridge, is it still a Hillsborough County case?
Not automatically. Both spans cross Old Tampa Bay into Pinellas County, so where the crash actually happened matters. Florida venue law lets you file where the cause of action accrued or where the defendant resides, so a Tampa resident hit on the Pinellas side may still have a Hillsborough County option if the at-fault driver or trucking company is based there. We check the location and the defendant before filing anywhere.
