When you call, you reach people who know your roads, your courthouse and your neighbors. ## Our Tampa Office on West Fletcher Avenue Our main office is at 1317 W Fletcher Avenue, Tampa, FL 33612, in North Tampa. Located right on Fletcher Avenue, the firm is embedded in the Carrollwood community, a short drive from I-275, Dale Mabry Highway and Bearss Avenue. You do not have to fight your way downtown to get serious legal help. When you come in, you meet with Mike Hancock, not a paralegal or an intake representative. If getting to us is hard right now, we come to you: consultations happen by phone, at your home, by email, FaceTime or Zoom, on weekdays or weekends. Our phones are answered 24/7 at (813) 915-1110. ## Tampa Neighborhoods We Serve From the Fletcher Avenue office we represent people throughout Hillsborough County. Many of our clients live, or were hurt, close to our office in Carrollwood, Northdale, Lutz, Citrus Park, Westchase and Town 'n' Country. We also regularly help families in New Tampa and Tampa Palms, the University area around USF, Temple Terrace, Seminole Heights, Forest Hills, Midtown, Downtown and the Channel District, South Tampa and Brandon. If your neighborhood is not on that list, call anyway. A Tampa injury claim works the same way whether the crash happened on a quiet street in Keystone or on the Selmon Expressway. ## Where Tampa Crashes Happen You do not need a statistics chart to know Tampa roads are busy. These are corridors our clients drive every day, and where many of our car accident and pedestrian cases begin: - I-275 and I-4, where merging traffic, sudden slowdowns and construction zones set up rear-end and lane-change crashes. - Dale Mabry Highway, packed with commercial driveways and left turns from Carrollwood down to South Tampa. - Fletcher Avenue, Fowler Avenue and Bruce B. Downs Boulevard, busy with students, pedestrians and commuters around USF and New Tampa. - Gunn Highway, Ehrlich Road, Linebaugh Avenue and Bearss Avenue, the east-west routes that tie Carrollwood and Northdale together. - The Veterans Expressway and Hillsborough Avenue, carrying fast traffic through Town 'n' Country and Westchase. Crashes are not the only cases we see. Slip and falls in grocery stores and restaurants, trip and falls on poorly kept walkways, and dog bites on neighborhood streets happen here too. ## Results From Tampa Streets A few of the cases our firm has resolved for clients hurt in Tampa: - $600,000, Pedestrian Hit by Car in Tampa, FL: a client struck while crossing Bruce B. Downs Blvd. - $500,000, Car Accident in Tampa, FL: a left-turn crash at US 41 and Lutz Lake Fern Road. - $300,000, Car Accident in Tampa, FL: a client rear-ended by a company truck at N. Dale Mabry Hwy. and the Veterans Expressway. - $260,000, Car Accident in Tampa, FL: a rear-end crash with a commercial vehicle at Anderson Rd and Gunn Hwy. - $170,000, Bicycle Accident in Carrollwood, FL: a fall caused by a dangerously maintained sidewalk on West Village Drive. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case depends on its own facts, injuries and available insurance. ## Hillsborough County Courts and Florida Deadlines Most injury claims settle without a trial. When a lawsuit is necessary for a Tampa accident, it is usually filed in Hillsborough County, which makes up Florida's 13th Judicial Circuit, with its main courthouse in downtown Tampa. Mike has handled cases in this community for decades. Florida law sets the clock. For most negligence claims arising on or after March 24, 2023, you generally have two years to file suit (section 95.11, Florida Statutes). Exceptions exist and some deadlines are shorter, such as the pre-suit notice requirements for claims against government entities. After a car crash, you also need initial medical treatment within 14 days to use your PIP benefits. Call early so nothing slips. ## Why Tampa Families Call Hancock Mike Hancock is a second-generation Tampa native, raising his family where his parents raised him. He served two terms as President of the North Tampa Bar Association and volunteers with Carrollwood organizations, including the Community Food Pantry and the Carrollwood Area Business Association. Before founding the firm in 1996, Mike defended insurance companies such as Allstate, State Farm and Geico. He knows how adjusters evaluate a Tampa claim because he used to sit on their side of the table.
