Channel District Personal Injury Lawyer

The Channel District is a busy, populated part of Tampa, Florida. The neighborhood has high-rise apartment buildings, shops, restaurants, bars, office buildings, and the city’s cruise ports.

Unfortunately, all this activity only increases the risk of accidents. For example, heavy traffic can injure motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists. Slips and trips in district businesses can incapacitate customers. And finally, work-related accidents can disable you from earning a living.

If you’ve suffered an injury due to someone else’s negligence, it’s important to seek the compensation you’re entitled to. The Channel District personal injury lawyers with Winters & Yonker Personal Injury Lawyers, are here to help. Contact our law offices today at (813) 223-6200 to schedule a free initial consultation.

The History of the Channel District Neighborhood in Tampa, FL

The Channel District started as Tampa’s shipping and warehousing center. However, it declined in the 1970s as development in downtown Tampa and Ybor City drew businesses and residents away from the port.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the Tampa Port Authority conducted ambitious redevelopment projects to convert the area from an industrial center to a commercial one. The area now hosts some of the city’s best-known sites, including Sparkman Wharf and The Florida Aquarium.

Our Personal Injury Law Firm’s Primary Practice Areas

Winters & Yonker Personal Injury Lawyers helps Channel District residents seek compensation after being injured in accidents resulting from someone else’s actions. Our firm’s primary practice areas include:

Car Accidents

Florida’s no-fault insurance system limits when car accident victims can pursue compensation from at-fault drivers. But when you suffer a significant permanent injury, you can sue the at-fault driver. Winters & Yonker Personal Injury Lawyers knows Channel District roads and can explain your crash to insurers to get fair compensation.

Construction Accidents

The Channel District invests billions of dollars in residential, commercial, industrial, and road construction projects. However, construction workers have a higher risk of getting injured in a workplace accident than almost any other type of worker in the U.S.

Winters & Yonker Personal Injury Lawyers helps workers to identify and pursue any and all relevant injury claims after construction accidents. These may include third-party claims against defective equipment manufacturers and careless drivers.

Motorcycle Accidents

The Channel District has beautiful weather that draws motorcyclists. However, Florida is a dangerous state for motorcyclists, and Tampa riders can get hit by careless drivers in lane-change, rear-end, and left-turn crashes.

Winters & Yonker Personal Injury Lawyers have experience fighting negligent drivers and their insurers to secure fair compensation for injured motorcyclists.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Florida law requires businesses and individuals to take reasonable steps to protect guest safety. As a result, cruise ships, shops, restaurants, bars, and office buildings can be held liable for injuries resulting from tripping and slipping hazards. Winters & Yonker Personal Injury Lawyers stands up to careless businesses to get fair compensation for slip and fall accidents.

Truck Accidents

Heavy trucks combined with busy city streets often lead to truck accidents that produce catastrophic injuries. Winters & Yonker Personal Injury Lawyers will fight for you to receive maximum compensation after you get injured when trucking companies negligently maintain, load, or operate their trucks.

Wrongful Death

Florida gives the relatives of a deceased victim the right to pursue compensation and justice from those responsible for their loved one’s death. This way, plaintiffs can recover compensation for their lost financial support and companionship. Winters & Yonker Personal Injury Lawyers fights for your family after you lose a loved one due to someone else’s actions.

Damages Available in Channel District Personal Injury Cases

Florida law allows you to seek compensation for your economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include the financial costs of your injuries, such as past and future medical expenses and income losses. Non-economic damages cover the human cost of your injuries, including pain, suffering, disfigurement, and disability.

Florida formerly had damages caps that limited the non-economic damages you could pursue in wrongful death and medical malpractice actions. But the Florida Supreme Court found these caps unconstitutional because they deprived certain accident victims of full and fair compensation for their injuries.

What Does It Cost To Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer in Hillsborough County?

Most Hillsborough County personal injury attorneys charge a contingent fee, allowing you not to pay any legal fees unless the lawyer settles or wins your case. As a result, you can save your resources for your medical care and living expenses until your claim gets paid.

Statute of Limitations in Florida Personal Injury Cases

Florida requires injured parties to bring a lawsuit for negligent or intentional harm within two years of the incident. This two-year deadline came into effect on 3/24/2023 with the passage of a new tort reform law. Prior to this, there was a four year statute of limitations. This longer deadline still applies in cases involving accidents that happened before 3/24/2023.

Courts must dismiss any case filed after the deadline unless you meet a statutory exception to Florida’s statute of limitations. You should speak to Winters & Yonker Personal Injury Lawyers, as soon as your health allows so you do not miss any important deadlines.
