Personal Injury Attorney in Tampa
Crashes on I-275 and I-4 land on our desk most weeks. If you were hurt in one, we can tell you what the claim is worth.
We represent injury victims throughout Tampa — from collisions on I-275, I-4, and I-75 to crashes along Dale Mabry Highway, Gandy Boulevard, and Hillsborough Avenue.
We litigate these claims in the Hillsborough County courts and negotiate directly with the insurers handling them, pursuing full recovery for the medical costs, lost wages, and lasting injuries our clients sustain on the region's busiest roads.
Insurance companies have full legal teams working against you from day one. My job is to make sure you’re not facing them alone.
We handle a variety of personal injury cases in Tampa, including:
Send a requestCar Accidents
We represent drivers and passengers hurt in collisions on Dale Mabry Highway, Hillsborough Avenue, and the I-275 corridor, investigating the crash and pursuing the insurers for the full value of the injury.
Truck Accidents
We handle collisions with the commercial trucks moving freight along I-4 and I-75, where injuries run deep and the carriers' insurers mount the kind of defense we are prepared to litigate.
Motorcycle Accidents
We pursue claims for riders struck on Gandy Boulevard and the interstate ramps, establishing the other driver's liability and recovering for the severe injuries motorcyclists suffer.
Pedestrian Accidents
We represent pedestrians struck along Hillsborough Avenue and Dale Mabry Highway, investigating right-of-way and crossing conditions to establish liability and negotiate with the driver's insurer.
Rear-End Collisions
We handle the rear-end crashes common in heavy I-275 and I-4 traffic, building the evidence that documents fault and the spinal and soft-tissue injuries that follow.
Hit-and-Run Accidents
When a driver flees the scene on a Tampa corridor, we investigate to identify them and pursue uninsured-motorist coverage so our client's recovery does not depend on finding the at-fault driver.

Types of compensation you may be entitled to
Medical Expenses
The compensation is based on the actual cost of medical treatment. The value ranges from a few thousand dollars for minor injuries to hundreds of thousands for severe, long-term injuries requiring extensive treatment.
Medical expenses are usually challenging to prove, but issues likely arise if treatment was delayed or not well-documented.
Future Medical Care
Future Medical Needs compensation covers the anticipated cost of ongoing or long-term medical treatment required after a car accident. This includes expenses related to rehabilitation, surgeries, therapy, or lifetime care for permanent disabilities. Settlement values typically range from $50,000 to several million dollars, depending on the severity of the injuries and the expected duration of care.
This type of compensation carries a high level of risk, as it depends heavily on expert medical testimony to accurately forecast future health conditions and related expenses.
Loss of Earning Capacity
Loss of Earning Capacity refers to compensation for the reduced ability to earn income in the future due to accident-related injuries or disabilities. The amount is estimated based on projected lost wages over the person’s remaining working years and can vary from tens of thousands to several million dollars, depending on factors such as age, occupation, education, and injury severity.
Proving this type of loss is complex, requiring detailed evidence of prior earnings, career trajectory, and expert economic analysis to clearly link the injury to diminished earning potential.
Vehicle Damage
Vehicle Damage compensation covers the cost to repair or replace a vehicle damaged in a car accident. The claim may include the cost to restore the car to its pre-accident condition or the fair market value if it is declared a total loss. The settlement amount depends on the vehicle’s age, make, model, mileage, pre-accident condition, and repair costs. Minor damages usually cost $500–$5,000 to fix, while severe damage or total loss can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, especially for newer or luxury cars.
Insurance adjusters or auto appraisers typically determine the final amount. Proving vehicle damage is usually straightforward with photos and repair estimates, though disputes can arise over pre-existing issues, depreciation, or total loss valuation.
Physical Pain
Physical Pain compensation addresses the physical suffering and discomfort caused by injuries sustained in an accident. It includes both immediate pain following the crash and ongoing pain experienced during recovery. The value is often calculated using a multiplier method, where medical expenses and other quantifiable damages are multiplied by a factor—typically between 1.5 and 5—based on the severity and duration of the pain.
Pain and suffering damages are inherently subjective, requiring comprehensive medical documentation, doctor testimony, and sometimes personal pain journals. The challenge lies in proving the lasting impact of the pain, especially if visible injuries appear healed or documentation is incomplete.

The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is different and must be evaluated on its own facts.
Frequently asked questions
Florida now allows two years from the date of injury, a deadline shortened by the 2023 HB 837 reform. Because evidence on busy Hillsborough County corridors fades quickly and witnesses move, contacting Kremenchuker Law Group early protects your claim and the proof it depends on before the deadline passes.
Yes. Florida’s no-fault system means your Personal Injury Protection coverage pays initial medical bills regardless of fault, but you must seek treatment within 14 days. Kremenchuker Law Group helps you meet that requirement and, for serious injuries, pursues the at-fault driver for damages PIP does not cover.
Florida applies modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar, so if you are more than half at fault you recover nothing. Kremenchuker Law Group investigates the crash and builds the evidence that establishes the other driver’s liability and protects your recovery.
Yes. In hit-and-run crashes on Tampa corridors like I-275 or Dale Mabry Highway, Kremenchuker Law Group works to identify the fleeing driver and, where they cannot be found, pursues your uninsured-motorist coverage so your recovery does not depend on locating them.
Kremenchuker Law Group handles Tampa injury claims on contingency — no fee unless we win. You pay nothing upfront, and the firm is paid only if it recovers compensation for you, giving injured Hillsborough County residents access to experienced representation regardless of their finances.
Personal injury lawyers in Tampa and Hillsborough County
Commuters, tourists, and freight all share Tampa’s roads at once, and the result shows up daily on I-275, I-4, and the Selmon Expressway. When one of those crashes leaves you injured, Kremenchuker Law Group takes on your Hillsborough County claim — investigating the wreck, dealing with the insurer, and litigating in the 13th Judicial Circuit — across car accident, truck accident, motorcycle, pedestrian, bicycle, and rear-end claims. We know how Hillsborough County crashes are worked up and how local adjusters push back, and we use that to your advantage from the start.
Two years to file a Hillsborough County claim
Florida tightened its injury deadline in 2023: under Fla. Stat. § 95.11, you now have two years, not four, to bring a claim, and the courts enforce it strictly. The legal cutoff isn’t the only reason to act fast, though. Selmon Expressway and intersection footage is recycled within weeks, and witnesses forget details — so an early start preserves the evidence that decides a Tampa case.
What your Tampa claim should account for
We value a Hillsborough County claim across every category Florida law allows: the medical care you’ve already had and the care still to come, lost wages and a diminished ability to earn, property damage, and pain and suffering. The final number depends on how serious the injury is and how completely it’s documented. That’s where a personal injury attorney earns their fee — assembling the proof and tying it to the at-fault driver.
PIP, the 14-day rule, and serious injuries
Your own $10,000 in PIP responds first under Florida’s no-fault law, but the benefit disappears if you wait longer than 14 days to seek care. PIP pays 80% of medical costs and 60% of lost wages. To pursue the at-fault driver for pain and suffering, you have to clear the serious-injury threshold in § 627.736 — a bar we help Tampa clients meet by building a complete, well-documented medical record from the start.
When Tampa insurers shift the blame
Carriers routinely argue that an injured Tampa driver caused or worsened the crash, because under § 768.81 it lowers what they owe — and fault over 50% bars recovery entirely. We don’t let that go unanswered. Prompt, independent investigation — the crash report, scene photos, witness statements, and reconstruction when needed — keeps fault grounded in evidence rather than the adjuster’s preferred story.
Tampa’s high-risk corridors
Some routes drive a disproportionate share of injury claims. We regularly handle crashes on I-275 and I-4, where merging and congestion are relentless; on the Selmon Expressway and I-75; and on surface roads like Dale Mabry Highway, Hillsborough Avenue, and Kennedy Boulevard, where turning traffic and pedestrians raise the danger. Every corridor leaves distinct evidence, and we investigate each crash on the specifics of the Hillsborough County roadway involved. Knowing which Tampa corridors generate the most severe wrecks helps us anticipate the defenses an insurer will raise and counter them early.
Why early treatment matters
Getting care quickly protects your health and locks in the link between the crash and your injuries. After a Tampa collision, get evaluated at Tampa General Hospital, an AdventHealth or HCA ER, or urgent care, even if symptoms seem mild — many serious injuries take a day or two to appear. Keep every record and follow-up. Treatment begun inside Florida’s 14-day PIP window is often what makes the insurer take your claim seriously.
After a Tampa crash: what to do
A few steps go a long way. Get medical attention and make sure the crash is reported to Tampa PD or the Hillsborough County Sheriff. Photograph the vehicles, the scene, and your injuries. Exchange insurance information, but avoid giving the at-fault insurer a recorded statement before you have a lawyer. As FLHSMV crash data shows, prompt documentation strengthens a claim. When you’re ready, contact Kremenchuker Law Group for a free Tampa review — no fee unless we win.
