Tampa Stop Sign Accident Lawyer

Stop signs are designed to keep Tampa’s roads safe, but when drivers fail to obey them, the results can be catastrophic. These collisions often happen at intersections and involve high-impact crashes that cause severe injuries or fatalities. At Spencer Morgan Law, our experienced Tampa stop sign accident lawyer represents victims injured by careless or reckless drivers. We fight to hold negligent motorists accountable and secure full compensation for your medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Understanding Stop Sign Accidents

Running a stop sign is one of the most common and dangerous traffic violations in Florida. These accidents often occur when drivers are distracted, speeding, or impatient at intersections. Victims can include other motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists who have the legal right of way.

Spencer Morgan Law handles stop sign crash cases throughout Tampa. Our team investigates every detail of the accident, from witness statements and police reports to traffic camera footage, to build a strong claim for liability and compensation.

Common Causes of Stop Sign Collisions

• Distracted driving (texting, eating, or adjusting navigation)
• Failing to come to a complete stop
• Speeding or reckless driving through intersections
• Poor visibility or obstructed signage
• Impaired driving from alcohol or drugs
• Confusion about right-of-way rules

We work with accident reconstruction experts to show how the driver’s failure to stop caused your injuries and losses.

Common Injuries from Stop Sign Accidents

Because stop sign collisions often occur at intersections, the impact can be severe. Victims frequently suffer:

• Head and brain injuries
• Whiplash or neck trauma
• Back and spinal injuries
• Broken bones or fractures
• Internal bleeding or organ damage
• Cuts, bruises, and soft tissue injuries

Spencer Morgan Law ensures that all aspects of your injuries, treatment, and long-term recovery are accounted for in your compensation claim.

Steps to Take After a Stop Sign Accident

1. Call 911 immediately and report the crash.
2. Seek medical treatment, even for minor symptoms.
3. Take photos of the vehicles, intersection, and visible injuries.
4. Obtain witness contact information.
5. Request a copy of the police report.
6. Avoid discussing fault with other drivers or insurers.
7. Contact Spencer Morgan Law as soon as possible to begin your claim.

What Compensation May Be Available

Victims of stop sign accidents may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical bills and future treatment costs
• Lost income and reduced earning potential
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Property damage
• Permanent disability or disfigurement
• Wrongful death damages for surviving families

We negotiate aggressively with insurance companies and, when necessary, take cases to court to ensure our clients receive the compensation they deserve.

Proving Negligence in Stop Sign Accident Cases

Florida law requires drivers to come to a full stop at every stop sign and yield to other vehicles and pedestrians with the right of way. When a driver fails to do so, they can be held negligent under the law. Spencer Morgan Law uses traffic camera evidence, accident reconstruction, and witness statements to prove fault and establish a strong case for your claim.

We understand the tactics insurance companies use to reduce payouts and work diligently to counter them with evidence and expert testimony.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is at fault in a stop sign accident?

Usually, the driver who failed to stop or yield the right of way is found at fault, though other factors such as visibility or multiple negligent drivers can also play a role.

What if the other driver denies running the stop sign?

We use surveillance footage, eyewitness statements, and accident reconstruction to prove the other driver’s negligence.

Can I recover damages if I was partially at fault?

Yes. Under Florida’s comparative negligence law, you can still recover compensation, but your recovery may be reduced based on your percentage of fault.

How long do I have to file a stop sign accident claim?

You generally have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida.

How much does it cost to hire Spencer Morgan Law?

There are no upfront fees. We only get paid when we recover compensation for you.
