Tampa Car Accident Lawyer
A car accident can happen in seconds but leave lasting consequences. From painful injuries and mounting medical bills to missed work and emotional stress, the aftermath can feel overwhelming. At Spencer Morgan Law, our experienced Tampa car accident lawyer helps victims navigate the complex process of filing claims, proving fault, and securing full compensation. We handle every detail of your case so you can focus on healing while we fight for the justice you deserve.
Understanding Car Accidents in Tampa
Tampa’s busy highways and intersections, such as I-275, I-4, Dale Mabry Highway, and Kennedy Boulevard, see thousands of crashes each year. Many of these collisions are caused by distracted or impaired drivers, speeding, or failure to obey traffic signals. While Florida law requires drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance, serious accidents often exceed what those policies cover. That’s when you need a dedicated legal advocate on your side.
Spencer Morgan Law has represented hundreds of injured drivers, passengers, and pedestrians throughout Florida. We understand how insurance companies operate and know how to counter their tactics to secure the highest possible recovery for your injuries and losses.
Common Causes of Car Accidents
- Distracted driving, including texting or using a phone while behind the wheel
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Speeding or aggressive driving behavior
- Running red lights or failing to yield
- Fatigued driving and inattention
- Poor weather conditions or slick roads
- Vehicle defects or mechanical failure
Our firm investigates the circumstances of every crash, obtains police and witness reports, and works with accident reconstruction experts to determine who is at fault.
Common Types of Car Accident Injuries
Car accidents can result in injuries that range from mild discomfort to life-altering conditions. Some of the most common include whiplash, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, soft tissue damage, and internal bleeding. These injuries often require ongoing care and can impact your ability to work or live independently. Spencer Morgan Law works with medical specialists to ensure your claim reflects both immediate and long-term needs.
What Compensation May Be Available
Depending on the circumstances, accident victims may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses and rehabilitation costs
- Lost wages and reduced future earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Vehicle repair or replacement
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
Our team takes an aggressive approach in negotiations and litigation to ensure that every category of your damages is fully valued and pursued.
Steps to Take After a Car Accident
- Call 911 and request medical assistance for anyone injured.
- Exchange information with all drivers, including insurance and contact details.
- Take photographs of the vehicles, road conditions, and visible injuries.

- Seek medical evaluation even if you feel fine, as injuries may appear later.
- Notify your insurance company but do not make detailed statements without consulting an attorney.
- Contact Spencer Morgan Law to review your case and begin the claim process.

Tampa Car Accident FAQs
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
Ensure your safety and call the police. Get medical attention right away, exchange information with other drivers, and contact a lawyer before speaking to any insurance company.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Florida?
You generally have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim. However, it is best to contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Florida follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you share some responsibility. Your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Can I recover compensation for pain and suffering?
Yes. If your injuries are serious or permanent, you may pursue non-economic damages such as pain and suffering in addition to medical expenses and lost wages.
How much does it cost to hire Spencer Morgan Law?
You pay nothing upfront. Our firm operates on a contingency fee basis, which means you owe no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you.
