Tampa Florida Personal Injury Attorneys

At Winters & Yonker, P.A., we are known as aggressive attorneys. Every day, we work to live up to our reputation, fighting aggressively to recover just compensation for clients who have suffered a serious personal injury or the wrongful death of a loved one.

If you have been injured in an accident, you may be wondering: "How much is my personal injury case worth?" At Winters & Yonker, PA, we understand that no amount of money can ever truly compensate you for a serious injury or the unexpected loss of a family member. However, the money from an out-of-court settlement or jury verdict can help you deal with the financial, physical, and emotional challenges after an accident-related injury or death

Contact us to schedule a free initial consultation or call our Tampa office at 888-373-7770. Our lawyers handle all types of personal injury claims, including:

Car Accidents · Drunk Driving Accidents · SUV Rollovers ·Rear-end Crashes

Our attorneys handle all types of motor vehicle and car accident claims, including:

Car accidents: Tampa, Florida, is located at the crossroads of three major interstate highways (I-75, I-275 and I-4). Car accidents are frequent on and near these highways and other busy Florida roadways such as the Veterans' Expressway (Highway 589). For more information about car accidents, visit our Car Accidents Information Center.

Rear-end collisions: These types of accidents can cause serious injuries such as whiplash, soft tissue injuries, neck and back injuries, and more. We aggressively pursue compensation for people injured in rear-end collisions.

Drunk driver accidents: Drunk driving is still one of the leading causes of preventable deaths and injuries in Florida. If you were injured, or someone you love was killed, in an alcohol-related car accident, we will fight to obtain the compensation you deserve.

Accidents with uninsured drivers: If you were in a hit-and-run accident or involved in a crash with a driver with no auto insurance, you may be able to collect damages under your own uninsured motorist insurance. If the at-fault driver did not have enough insurance to cover your accident-related losses, you may have a claim under your own underinsured motorist coverage.

Truck vs. car accidents: When a truck is involved in an accident, the trucking company and their insurance company immediately begin an investigation and work to defeat or reduce any claim against the truck driver or trucking company. If you were injured in an accident with a big rig or other commercial vehicle, contact an attorney at Winters & Yonker, P.A as soon as possible. We work hard to protect the rights and interests of people injured or killed in truck vs. car accidents.

SUV and other vehicle rollover accidents: Sport utility vehicles (SUV's) and similar vehicles are twice as likely to roll over in a crash as are cars and other passenger vehicles. Rollover accidents cause serious injuries including neck and head injuries, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, and more.

Truck Accidents · Motorcycle Accidents · Bike and Pedestrian Accidents

Motorcycle accidents: Insurance issues can be a major hindrance to motorcycle accident victims. Many motorcyclists have not elected PIP (Personal Injury Protection) insurance, so they have less coverage for medical expenses and lost wages than drivers of automobiles do. Our lawyers are devoted to helping injured bikers recover the compensation needed after a motorcycle accident. . For more information, visit our Motorcycle Accidents Information Center.

Tractor trailer accidents: In the aftermath of a truck accident, a tractor trailer accident victim typically requires high-quality emergency care. In the days following the crash, the victim needs time to heal. The therapy and rehabilitation processes may go on for weeks or months. For more information, visit our Truck Accident Information Center.

Bicycle accidents / pedestrian accidents: The University of South Florida's Department of Engineering reports that, "Florida has consistently ranked as one of the worst states in terms of pedestrian and bicycle crashes, injuries and fatalities."

Bus and Taxi Accidents · Plane Accidents · Boating and Jet Ski Accidents

Bus and taxi cab accidents: Bus and taxi cab accidents occur all too often, as these forms of transportation have become more popular. If you have been injured while riding on a bus or in a taxi cab or in a collision with a bus or cab, call us as soon as possible.

Aviation accidents: Our aggressive lawyers pursue justice for injury victims (and surviving family members of fatal accident victims) in commercial plane crashes and accidents involving small private airplanes. Following a commercial airplane accident, each victim has a separate legal case, depending on factors such as:

•  
  • The victim's location in the plane
  • The victim's unique experience in the accident
  • The particular losses of the victim's family

Boating accidents: Florida's many water recreational areas all too often become locations of boating accidents as well as accidental injuries involving watercraft such as Jet Skis.

Construction Accidents · Electrocutions · Slip and Fall Injuries · Dog Bites

Construction accidents: Did OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) violations contribute to your accidental injury on a construction site? We pursue damages for construction workers and visitors who are injured by construction accidents caused by negligence or violations of safety regulations.

Slip and fall accidents: Slip and fall accidents are often said to involve "comparative negligence" in personal injury law. Insurance claims adjusters, juries, and judges may say that the person who fell and injured himself or herself shared responsibility for the injury. We fight for people who have been injured because of slippery floors, dangerous stairways, defective balconies and other hazardous property conditions.

Dog bites: A dog bite can be psychologically traumatic. There may also be deep tissue damage, such as damaged nerves or muscles. There is a possibility of infection as well as a risk of scarring or disfigurement.

Electrocutions: Although electrocutions may be deemed freak accidents, there is usually compensation available for the victim by way of a premises liability claim or other insurance claim.

Wrongful Death · Paralysis · Traumatic Brain Injury ·Whiplash

Wrongful death: Whether sudden death occurred in an auto accident, or an injury victim died in the days or weeks following a crash, there may be a wrongful death claim against negligent parties and insurers.

Brain injury: Sometimes, memory loss and personality change do not go away after a brain injury. Victims may have trouble concentrating or carrying on a logical conversation months or even years after an accident. Our attorneys work hard to recover the maximum compensation possible for clients who suffered head trauma and brain damage in a preventable accident.

Spinal cord injury: A spinal cord injury victim often has already been permanently damaged by partial paralysis, paraplegia or quadriplegia before arriving in the emergency room. After emergency treatment, the victim and his or her family will face a new set of challenges, expenses, and concerns.

Soft tissue injuries: Although most soft tissue injuries are not visible to the eye, they can cause a great deal of pain and discomfort. We represent individuals who have suffered whiplash, contusions, torn tendons, muscle strains and other injuries.
