Personal Injury

Tampa Personal Injury Attorneys Fighting for the Compensation You Deserve

An injury caused by someone else’s negligence changes more than your health. It affects your ability to work, your finances, and your peace of mind, often while insurance companies are working just as hard to minimize what they pay you. At Michael P. Maddux, P.A., we handle the legal fight so you can focus on recovering, building a claim that accounts for what you’ve actually lost, not just what an insurance adjuster wants to offer.

Automobile Accidents

Car, truck, bicycle, and motorcycle accidents are among the most common personal injury cases we handle, and also among the most contested. Insurance companies routinely dispute fault, downplay injuries, or delay payment. We gather police reports, medical records, and, where needed, accident reconstruction evidence to establish what really happened and hold the responsible party accountable. We often successfully challenge adverse liability findings.

Premises Liability

Property owners have a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe, and when they fail to do so, whether through a slip and fall, inadequate security, or a hazardous condition they knew about and ignored, they can be held liable for the injuries that result. We investigate the condition of the property, prior incident history, video evidence, and maintenance records to build a case that holds the owner accountable.

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one because of someone else’s negligence is one of the hardest things a family can face, and Florida law allows surviving family members to pursue compensation for their loss. We handle wrongful death claims with the sensitivity these cases require, while still pursuing the full extent of damages available, including lost income, funeral expenses, and the loss of companionship.

Sovereign Immunity Claims

Injuries caused by a government entity, such as a car accident involving a government vehicle or a hazardous condition on public property, are handled differently than claims against private individuals or companies. Florida’s sovereign immunity laws limit when and how much you can recover, and they come with strict notice requirements and shorter deadlines. We navigate these procedural requirements to protect your right to pursue a claim against a government entity.

What Your Case Is Really Worth

Insurance companies calculate settlement offers based on their own bottom line, not on what will actually cover your medical bills, lost wages, and ongoing care. We work with your medical providers, review your full course of treatment, and account for both what you’ve already dealt with and what you’ll still face going forward, so any settlement or verdict reflects the real cost of your injury.
