Injured in Tampa
Tampa runs on hospitals and health systems, finance and business services, construction, hospitality, the cargo and cruise operations at Port Tampa Bay, and the defense work around MacDill Air Force Base. The jobs that hurt people are the physical ones: framing and roofing, dock and warehouse loading, kitchen and housekeeping shifts, and delivery routes. Depending on how you were hurt, you may have a workers' compensation claim, a third-party lawsuit, or both.
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 workplace injuries 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.
I was hurt at work but worry about my immigration status. Can I still file a claim?
Yes. Florida workers' compensation and third-party injury claims do not depend on your immigration status, and your information stays protected. Depending on how you were hurt, you may have a workers' compensation claim, a lawsuit against a negligent third party, or both. You will always speak with a bilingual attorney.
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.
