Tampa, Florida, Auto Accident Attorney

Hancock Law Firm, P.A.

Nearly 200,000 people are injured in traffic crashes in Florida every year. Some escape with cuts and bruises. Many suffer damage to bones and joints. Some are left with permanent and life-changing injuries. There is no fixed dollar amount for a particular injury. Compensation depends on many factors, including the experience and commitment of your legal counsel.

The legal team at Hancock Law Firm is familiar with the typical injuries suffered in car accidents. We are skilled at demonstrating all the ways those injuries affect your life. Contact us day or night for a free consultation. Our Tampa personal injury lawyer represents crash victims in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Land O' Lakes, Lutz, Wesley Chapel, Lakeland, all communities of Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando and Citrus counties, and throughout Florida.

Full Compensation for Major and Minor Injuries

Attorneys Mike Hancock and Claire Hancock have a strong record of verdicts and settlements covering every type of car accident injury:

  • Whiplash and neck injuries
  • Low back sprains and strains
  • Fractured vertebrae and herniated disks
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Amputation
  • Concussion and traumatic brain injury
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Facial injury, dental damage and TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder)
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Shoulder injuries and knee injuries
  • Burn injuries

The compensable damages for a personal injury are more than the hospital bills. We work with many professionals to estimate the costs of future medical care, calculate lost earnings and assess the personal impact, especially for severe and catastrophic injuries.

Some injuries from an auto accident are not outwardly visible or physical in nature. We have also recovered compensation for:

  • Scarring and other disfigurement
  • Nerve damage and impairment
  • Chronic pain
  • Depression or anxiety
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Damages are unique to your situation. A broken wrist might be an inconvenience to one person, but a career-ending injury to another. We work closely with clients to document the extent of injury, extent of recovery and the effects on your life.
