- Lost wages and earning potential
- Property damage
- Emotional distress

What is the value of your claim? Your case will have a settlement value determined by such factors as:

- Whether your injuries are permanent
- The effect on your capacity to go to work or back to your usual way of life

- The policy limits of the liable party’s insurance
To understand what your case may be worth, consult with a Tampa, Florida, personal injury attorney at The Black Law Company. We’ll give you an honest assessment and walk you through your options.
Understanding Negligence and Liability
In Florida, personal injury claims typically rely on proving negligence. Here’s what must be shown:
- Duty of care – The defendant had a legal responsibility to act with care
- Breach of duty – They failed to act responsibly
- Causation – That failure directly caused your injury
- Damages – You suffered harm as a result
You must prove these elements by a “preponderance of the evidence,” meaning it’s more likely than not that the other party was responsible.
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule. That means:
- If you are found to be 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover damages
- If you are less than 51% at fault, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault
Insurance companies love to shift blame. That’s where our experience matters. A Tampa, Florida personal injury attorney from our team will gather evidence, interview witnesses, and bring in experts if needed to minimize your share of fault and maximize your compensation.
Even if you were ticketed by law enforcement at the scene, don’t assume that means you’re at fault. Tickets are not admissible as proof in court, and we’ve successfully challenged many initial findings by law enforcement through our own investigations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in Tampa?
We charge nothing up front. We don’t bill by the hour; our lawyers work on contingency, meaning you’ll only owe legal fees if we win your case.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?
Under Florida law, which governs the period of time from an injury to the filing of a lawsuit against those responsible for causing it, you also have two years from the date of your incident (the car accident) or when you knew, or should have known through reasonable diligence of both the act and injury.
What if I were partially at fault for the accident?
You can still collect compensation as long as you are less than 51 percent at fault. You will recover less than the full amount of your award.
What are considered serious injuries under Florida law?
In Florida, serious injuries are those involving a great risk of death, permanent injury, or loss of a vital bodily function. This encompasses damage to the spine, brain, amputation, and a shattering of the limb.
How are pain and suffering damages calculated?
Pain and suffering are considered “non-economic” damages, items addressed in the section on compensatory damages. The longer and more severe your pain lasts, the higher the multiplier.
Will my case go to trial?
Not always. Many of our clients’ claims are resolved out of court, but we prepare every case in order to make sure you receive the best position for negotiation possible.
