Clearwater Personal Injury Attorney

Injured accident victims and their family members are encouraged to contact Winters & Yonker, PA, to schedule a free initial consultation.

We are said to be "aggressive attorneys." Every day, we work to live up to that reputation. Our mission is to ensure that clients of our law firm receive proper and just compensation after suffering from brain injury, spinal cord injury, bone fractures, or burn injuries resulting from 18 wheeler or motorbike crashes, aviation or boating accidents, or in slip and fall accidents.

Our Tampa, Florida-based personal injury law firm represents victims who have suffered from accidents and injuries including the following:

Auto accidents

Tampa, Florida, is located at the crossroads of three major interstate highways (I-75, I-275 and I-4). Auto accidents are frequent on and near these highways and other busy Florida roadways such as the Veterans' Expressway (Highway 589).

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 than drivers of automobiles do. Our lawyers are devoted to helping each client recover the compensation needed after a motorcycle accident.

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."

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.

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. When a commercial airplane accident occurs, each victim has a separate legal case, depending on factors including the following:

• The victim's location in the plane
• The victim's unique experience in the accident
• The particular losses to 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.

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.

Brain injury

Sometimes, memory loss and personality change do not go away, and a brain injury victim has trouble concentrating or carrying on a logical conversation even months or years after an 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.

Construction accidents

Did OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) violations contribute to your accidental injury?

Dog bites

It is of course psychologically traumatic to be the victim of a dog bite. There may also be deep tissue damage, such as damaged nerves or muscles. There is a possibility of infection as well as 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

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.
