Car Accident Lawyer in St. Petersburg
St. Petersburg’s road network is one of the most heavily traveled in the Tampa Bay area. I-275, which connects downtown St. Pete to Tampa across the Howard Frankland Bridge, consistently ranks among Florida’s most congested corridors. The Gandy Bridge, the Sunshine Skyway feeder roads, and the heavily trafficked stretch of US-19 through Pinellas County generate thousands of accidents each year — many resulting in serious injuries that change lives overnight.
Florida’s no-fault insurance system requires you to first seek benefits through your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. But when injuries are serious — fractures, spinal damage, traumatic brain injuries, or permanent impairments — you have the legal right to step outside no-fault and pursue a full claim against the at-fault driver. Our St. Petersburg car accident attorneys know exactly how to document your injuries, challenge lowball insurance offers, and take your case to trial when necessary.
Truck Accident Attorney Serving Pinellas County
St. Petersburg and the broader Pinellas County area see heavy commercial truck traffic on US-19, I-275, and the connecting surface roads serving the Port of St. Pete and warehouse districts. Crashes involving 18-wheelers and tractor-trailers are among the most catastrophic personal injury cases because of the massive weight and force involved.
Our truck accident lawyers investigate every responsible party — the driver, the trucking company, cargo loaders, and maintenance contractors. We obtain FMCSA logs, black box data, dashcam footage, and maintenance records to build the strongest possible case. We pursue full compensation for medical costs, lost income, rehabilitation, and long-term care.
Motorcycle, Pedestrian, and Bicycle Accidents in St. Petersburg
St. Petersburg’s waterfront trails, the Pinellas Trail, and the city’s growing urban cycling network attract thousands of cyclists and pedestrians every day. The Pinellas Trail spans 38 miles through the county, passing through densely trafficked intersections where the risk of a serious accident is ever-present. When a car or truck strikes a cyclist or pedestrian, catastrophic injuries are almost always the result.
We represent motorcycle accident victims, cyclists struck by inattentive drivers, and pedestrians injured in crosswalk and parking lot accidents throughout St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo, Dunedin, Pinellas Park, and Tarpon Springs.

"I Was You, Now I Represent You" — Attorney Katie Miller’s Story
Injury LawStars founder and managing partner Katie Miller, Esq. is not just a personal injury attorney — she is a serious accident survivor. On January 19, 2016, Katie was violently rear-ended at 50 mph and crushed under a semi-truck. She required spinal surgery and spent 13 months in recovery. She lived through the ER visits, the insurance adjuster calls, the physical therapy, and the financial anxiety that comes with being unable to work while medical bills pile up.
That experience is why she practices the way she does. When you call Injury LawStars, you are working with someone who has sat in the same hospital bed, felt the same fear, and fought the same insurance companies standing between you and the compensation you need to rebuild your life. Katie has recovered more than $45 million for injured clients across Florida.
"After my accident, I understood what it truly means to be vulnerable and to need someone in your corner. That’s the attorney I became. That’s the attorney your St. Petersburg case deserves."
— Katie Miller, Esq., Founder, Injury LawStars
