Tampa Accident Lawyers
Auto accidents are an all-too-common cause of death and disability in Tampa and throughout the country. If you have been the victim of an auto accident you may be facing overwhelming expenses and you may not be able to work while you recover from your injuries. If your injuries are severe, you may never be able to return to work. Our Tampa accident lawyers can help you and your family obtain the compensation that you need to get back on your feet financially.
Causes of Auto Accidents
Auto accidents often have less than obvious causes. Unfortunately, auto accident victims are quick to rely on police reports and investigations by insurance companies, neither of which are thorough or accurate in most cases. In some cases, auto accident victims mistakenly believe that they are responsible for their own accidents, because they do not have all of the facts. Our Tampa accident lawyers will investigate your crash, making sure that you are not held responsible for injuries which you did not cause. Common causes of auto accident include:
- Driver distractions, including cell phone use and texting
- Intoxication
- Violation of traffic signs or signals
- Excessive speed
- Defective vehicle, such as faulty tires which blow out
- Defective roadway, such as malfunctioning traffic signal
- Hazardous weather conditions
Responsible Parties in Auto Accidents
Auto accidents can have some surprising responsible parties. Only after a thorough investigation of your accident by our Tampa accident lawyers, can we be sure what truly caused your accident and therefore, who is responsible. There can be multiple responsible parties in a single auto accident and they can include:
- Other drivers
- Auto makers
- Dealerships
- Rental companies
- Repair shops
- Parts manufacturers
- Parts sellers
- Government entities responsible for defective roadways
- Employers of negligent drivers

Please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
