Hillsborough County recorded 26,260 traffic crashes in 2024, resulting in 17,354 injuries and 181 fatalities, according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. Hillsborough County ranks fourth in Florida for total crash volume. Beyond auto accidents, Tampa residents are hurt every year in slip and falls on neglected commercial properties, workplace accidents in the area's construction and logistics sectors, and medical negligence at area hospitals. Insurance companies in Florida operate under some of the most aggressive defense frameworks in the country — including modified comparative negligence rules designed to reduce and eliminate claims. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
Tampa's most dangerous corridors are well documented. Fletcher Avenue at Bruce B. Downs Boulevard ranks as the highest-crash location in recent FDOT data for North Tampa, serving dense residential and commercial traffic near the University of South Florida. The Waters Avenue corridor through Town 'n' Country has historically contained three of Hillsborough County's most dangerous intersections within a three-mile stretch. U.S. 301 at Big Bend Road sees consistently high crash and serious injury numbers across multiple years of county data. Hospitals like Tampa General Hospital — Tampa Bay's only Level I Trauma Center — and St. Joseph's Hospital serve Tampa families after the most serious accidents. Those accidents cause real damage to Tampa families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Insurance companies operating across Hillsborough County have a track record of putting their own interests ahead of Tampa families who are already stretched thin. Florida's modified comparative negligence rules give insurers another tool — they try to push your fault percentage above 50% to eliminate your claim entirely. We know how to leverage the justice system in Hillsborough County courts to fight back and get you what you may be owed.
IMPORTANT FLORIDA LEGAL INFORMATION
Statute of Limitations: 2 years from the date of injury for most negligence-based claims (including car accidents, slip and falls, and premises liability) for incidents occurring on or after March 24, 2023. Medical malpractice: 2 years from discovery, with a 4-year hard cap.
No-Fault Insurance (PIP): Florida is a no-fault state. File your PIP claim with your own insurer within 14 days of the accident to protect your benefits. PIP covers up to $10,000 for emergency conditions. To sue for pain and suffering, injuries must meet the serious injury threshold under Florida Statute 627.737.
Comparative Negligence: Modified comparative negligence (HB 837, effective March 24, 2023). If you are more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover any damages. If you are 50% or less at fault, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Insurance Minimums: $10,000 PIP / $10,000 property damage liability required. Bodily injury liability is not required for all private passenger vehicles but is strongly recommended.
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Insurance companies may make early low offers because they count on most people not knowing what their case is actually worth under Florida law. They now use Florida's modified comparative negligence rules to argue you were mostly at fault. TopDog Law and its co-counsel fight for the full recovery.
