Top-Rated St Petersburg Personal Injury Law Firm
Serving all of Florida
When negligence causes serious harm, you deserve a Clearwater personal injury attorney who knows how to win your specific type of case. Jones Law Group has recovered over $50 million across every major category of personal injury — from high-speed crashes on US-19 to slip and falls at Clearwater Beach resorts. Your consultation is free and comes with no obligation.
Pinellas County averages over 14,000 crashes per year, with roughly 40% resulting in injuries. Whether you were rear-ended on Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard or T-boned at a US-19 intersection, our Clearwater car accident attorneys secure evidence fast — subpoenaing phone records, pulling surveillance footage, and working with accident reconstruction experts to prove fault and maximize your compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Property owners in Clearwater are legally required to maintain safe conditions under Florida statute 768.0755. When a wet pool deck at a beachfront resort, a broken handrail at a Cleveland Street restaurant, or uneven pavement outside a retail store causes your injury, we hold them accountable. Jones Law Group has recovered up to $350,000 for slip and fall victims by proving the owner knew — or should have known — about the hazard and failed to fix it.
E-Bike ridership has surged across Clearwater Beach and along the Pinellas Trail, and accidents are following. These motorized bicycles reach 20-28 mph with no protective shell or airbags, making collisions significantly more dangerous than traditional bike crashes. Drivers on Mandalay Avenue and Memorial Causeway frequently misjudge an e-bike's speed at intersections and in bike lanes. Florida law treats e-bike riders similarly to cyclists, but the injuries — and the compensation you deserve — are often far more severe.
Rideshare accident claims in Clearwater involve layered insurance policies that change depending on whether the driver was logged into the app, en route to a pickup, or carrying a passenger. With Clearwater Beach driving heavy Uber and Lyft volume during spring break, summer tourist season, and weekend events, these crashes are common. Whether you were a rider, another driver, or a pedestrian struck by an Uber or Lyft vehicle, Jones Law Group navigates these complex coverage disputes to make sure no available policy goes untapped.
With over 500 motorcycle crashes per year in Pinellas County and 26 average annual fatalities, riders face devastating outcomes — and insurance companies that try to blame them. We've overcome that bias repeatedly, including turning a $0 offer into a $975,000 recovery. Our Clearwater motorcycle accident attorneys fight the prejudice and build cases that force insurers to pay what your injuries actually cost.
Commercial trucks on US-19 and the Courtney Campbell Causeway cause some of Clearwater's most catastrophic crashes. Unlike car accident claims, truck cases involve federal FMCSA regulations, electronic logging data, corporate defendants, and insurance policies that can reach $1 million or more. Jones Law Group has the resources to go toe-to-toe with trucking companies and their legal teams to secure maximum compensation.
Pinellas County averages over 500 pedestrian crashes and 570 bicycle crashes annually — with dozens of fatalities each year. The Pinellas Trail, Mandalay Avenue, and the Pier 60 area are frequent hotspots where drivers fail to yield or make sudden turns. As vulnerable road users, cyclists and pedestrians suffer the most severe injuries. We fight to ensure their rights aren't dismissed by aggressive insurance adjusters.
Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, amputations, and severe burns demand a legal strategy that accounts for a lifetime of medical care and lost earning capacity. These cases can be worth millions, and insurance companies fight hardest to minimize them. Jones Law Group works with medical experts and economists to build claims that reflect the true, long-term cost of catastrophic harm.

If you were hurt in a crash on Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard, slipped at a Clearwater Beach resort, or got rear-ended trying to merge onto US-19, you already know the next few weeks are going to be hard. Medical bills don't wait. Insurance adjusters call within days, often before you know the full extent of your injuries. And in Florida, you have just two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit under the state's updated statute of limitations.
That's where Jones Law Group comes in. Bobby Jones is a board-certified personal injury attorney with over 20 years of trial experience, more than $50 million recovered for injured Floridians, and a 4.9-star Google rating from clients across Pinellas County. As a Clearwater personal injury lawyer, Bobby handles every case personally — no junior associates, no call-center handoffs. Just real legal representation from an Air Force veteran and Stetson Law graduate who knows the Sixth Judicial Circuit inside and out.

Clearwater isn't like the rest of Pinellas County. With over 15 million annual visitors to Clearwater Beach, US-19 carrying more than 80,000 vehicles a day through the city, and a year-round mix of locals, tourists, and seasonal residents, the personal injury cases here look different. Tourist drivers unfamiliar with the Memorial Causeway. Out-of-state rental cars on Cleveland Street. Pedestrian crashes near the Pier 60 area. Beach-resort slip-and-falls. These cases require an attorney who understands the local landscape, not just the law.
Bobby Jones has tried cases at the Sixth Judicial Circuit Courthouse on 315 Court Street in downtown Clearwater for two decades. He knows the local insurance adjusters, the defense firms that represent them, and the judges who hear personal injury cases. That local knowledge translates directly into stronger settlements and better trial outcomes for Clearwater clients.
JLG represents accident victims across every major category of personal injury law in Clearwater and the surrounding Pinellas County area.
Florida averages over 400,000 reported crashes annually, and Pinellas County consistently ranks among the top counties for traffic collisions. Clearwater hotspots include the US-19 and Gulf-to-Bay intersection, the Courtney Campbell Causeway approach, and the SR-60 corridor through downtown. We handle rear-end collisions, T-bone crashes, head-on impacts, and multi-vehicle pileups.
Florida is a top-five motorcycle state, and Clearwater Beach is a popular weekend riding destination. We represent riders injured by negligent drivers, dooring incidents, and left-turn violations — the single most common cause of fatal motorcycle crashes nationwide.
Clearwater Beach generates heavy Uber and Lyft volume, especially during spring break and summer tourist season. Rideshare cases involve layered insurance policies — the driver's personal coverage, the company's $1 million liability policy, and uninsured motorist coverage — and require an attorney who knows how to navigate all three.
The Pinellas Trail runs directly through Clearwater, and pedestrian traffic around Pier 60 and Cleveland Street stays high year-round. Florida is consistently ranked the most dangerous state in America for pedestrians and cyclists, and Clearwater's tourist-heavy intersections are particularly hazardous.
E-Bike rentals have exploded in Clearwater Beach, and so have crashes involving riders unfamiliar with Florida traffic laws. We handle e-bike injury claims involving motorist negligence, defective equipment, and rental-company liability.
Clearwater's hospitality industry — hotels, restaurants, beachfront resorts — creates frequent premises liability claims. Wet pool decks, unsecured stairs, and inadequate lighting are common factors. Florida's premises liability law requires property owners to maintain reasonably safe conditions for invitees.
Drunk driving crashes spike on Clearwater Beach weekends and during major events. Victims of impaired drivers may be entitled to punitive damages on top of compensatory damages — a category most general practice attorneys miss.
Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, amputations, and severe burns require attorneys who understand long-term care costs and lifetime medical projections. Bobby works with vocational economists and life-care planners to build accurate damage models for catastrophic cases.
Based on Florida Department of Transportation crash data and Signal Four Analytics reports, these locations see the highest concentration of serious injury crashes in Clearwater:
If you were taken to one of these facilities after your accident, your medical records will play a critical role in your injury claim:
JLG works directly with medical providers to obtain complete records, secure expert medical opinions when needed, and ensure your treatment costs are fully documented in your settlement demand.
Under House Bill 837, signed into law in March 2023, Florida personal injury claims now have a two-year filing deadline instead of the previous four-year window. If you miss this deadline, you lose your right to recover compensation entirely — no exceptions for most cases. This is the single most common way Clearwater accident victims accidentally destroy their cases.
HB 837 also changed Florida from a pure comparative negligence state to a modified comparative negligence state. If you are found more than 50% at fault for your accident, you recover nothing. Below that threshold, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies aggressively push fault onto victims to either eliminate or reduce payouts — having an experienced Clearwater personal injury lawyer protects you from these tactics.
Florida remains a no-fault state with mandatory $10,000 Personal Injury Protection coverage. PIP covers 80% of medical bills and 60% of lost wages up to the policy limit, regardless of fault. To step outside PIP and pursue a full liability claim, you must meet Florida's serious injury threshold: significant and permanent loss of bodily function, permanent injury within reasonable medical probability, significant and permanent scarring or disfigurement, or death.
Clearwater personal injury lawsuits are filed in the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court, located at 315 Court Street, Clearwater, FL 33756. The Sixth Circuit covers all of Pinellas and Pasco Counties. Bobby Jones has tried cases in this courthouse for over two decades and has direct working relationships with the judges and clerks who handle personal injury dockets.
Florida personal injury claims allow victims to recover both economic and non-economic damages. The specific categories include:
In cases involving drunk drivers, intentional misconduct, or gross negligence, Florida courts may award punitive damages designed to punish the wrongdoer. These are most common in DUI accident cases and certain commercial vehicle crashes involving safety violations.

When you hire JLG for your Clearwater injury claim, here's what to expect:
Step 1 — Free Case Evaluation: Bobby personally reviews the facts of your case, your medical records, and the available insurance coverage. No cost, no obligation.
Step 2 — Investigation and Evidence Gathering: We obtain the police report, witness statements, surveillance footage, and any available black box or telematics data. For Clearwater Beach cases, we move quickly because hotel and resort surveillance footage is typically overwritten within 30 days.
Step 3 — Medical Treatment Coordination: We work alongside your treatment plan to ensure your injuries are fully documented. We do not direct your medical care, but we ensure nothing gets missed in the record.
Step 4 — Demand and Negotiation: Once you reach maximum medical improvement, we send a comprehensive demand letter to the at-fault party's insurance carrier and negotiate aggressively for full value.
Step 5 — Litigation if Necessary: If the insurance company refuses to settle fairly, we file suit in the Sixth Judicial Circuit and prepare your case for trial. Many cases settle once the defense sees we're prepared to take them to a Pinellas County jury.
Nothing up front. JLG works on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery, agreed upon at the start of your case. If we don't recover compensation, you owe us nothing.
Under Florida law as of March 2023, you have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Wrongful death claims also follow a two-year deadline. Certain medical malpractice and government-entity claims have shorter notice requirements, so contact an attorney as soon as possible.
We handle car accidents, motorcycle accidents, rideshare crashes involving Uber and Lyft, bicycle and pedestrian accidents, e-bike accidents, slip and fall injuries, DUI accident cases, truck accidents, and catastrophic injury claims throughout Clearwater and Pinellas County.
Yes, as long as you are 50% or less at fault for the accident. Under Florida's modified comparative negligence rule, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are found more than 50% responsible, you cannot recover damages.
Seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine. Many injuries — especially soft tissue and traumatic brain injuries — don't show symptoms for days. Call the police and request a written report. Take photos of the scene, vehicles, and any visible injuries. Get contact information from witnesses. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
Big TV firms run case-mill operations where your file gets handed off to whichever associate has bandwidth that week. At JLG, Bobby Jones handles your case personally. You'll know your attorney by name, you'll have his cell number, and you'll deal with the same person from your first call through your settlement or trial.
It depends on the complexity of your injuries and the cooperation of the insurance carrier. Straightforward cases with clear liability often settle within 6 to 12 months. Cases involving disputed liability, catastrophic injuries, or litigation in the Sixth Judicial Circuit can take 18 months to several years. Bobby will give you an honest timeline at your initial consultation.
Every day you wait after a Clearwater accident, evidence disappears, witness memories fade, surveillance footage gets overwritten, and the insurance company builds its case against you. Florida's two-year statute of limitations is closer than you think.
Bobby Jones and the team at Jones Law Group are ready to fight for the compensation you deserve. We're friendly to our clients and aggressive in legal battles — and we don't get paid unless you do.
