Alegra Law represents injured people across Florida. Our office is in Tampa and appointments are available statewide, and because most of a case is handled by phone, email and hospital visits rather than office meetings, where you live rarely determines who can represent you.
What does change from place to place is the practical shape of a claim: which circuit court a case is filed in, which federal division hears it if it belongs there, which roads produce the most serious collisions, and what kind of defendant you are likely to be up against. The pages below cover those specifics city by city.
Cities With a Local Guide
Everywhere Else in Florida
The guides above cover our highest-volume areas, but they are not the limit of where we practise. We take cases in all 67 Florida counties, so if your city is not listed, call us or use the free case review and we will tell you plainly whether we can help.
How Location Affects a Florida Injury Claim
Florida has twenty judicial circuits and three federal districts. A case arising in Miami is filed in the Eleventh Circuit and, if federal, heard in the Southern District; a case in Ocala is filed in the Fifth Circuit and heard in the Middle District. That determines the jury pool, the local rules and how quickly a case moves.
Some deadlines are also location-driven rather than injury-driven. A claim against a city, county or state entity requires written pre-suit notice under Florida’s sovereign immunity statute before suit can be filed, and recovery against the entity is capped. A cruise or vessel claim may be governed by a ticket contract that names a specific court and a filing window far shorter than Florida’s general deadline.
Serving Clients Who No Longer Live Here
A large share of people injured in Florida were visiting. The claim belongs where the injury happened, so it stays in Florida whether or not you do. We handle these cases from here and coordinate with the providers treating you at home, and most clients in that position never travel back.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you only take cases in Tampa?
No. We represent injured people across Florida, in all 67 counties. The Tampa office is available by appointment, but most of a case is handled by phone, email and hospital or home visits, so where you live rarely determines who can represent you.
Does it matter which city my accident happened in?
Yes, for practical reasons rather than the underlying law. The city determines which judicial circuit and courthouse the case is filed in, which federal division hears it if it belongs in federal court, and the jury pool. It also shapes who the likely defendants are and which local agency holds the crash report.
I was injured in Florida but I live in another state. Can you represent me?
Yes. The claim belongs where the injury happened, so it remains a Florida case. We handle it here and coordinate with the providers treating you at home. Most clients in this position never need to travel back to Florida.
What does it cost to hire Alegra Law?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, and if there is no recovery you owe no attorney’s fee. Clients may remain responsible for costs and expenses as described in the written fee agreement, and all fee terms are provided in writing before you sign.
