Reviewed by Bobby Jones, Personal Injury Attorney, Jones Law Group | Published | Updated
Gulfport is walkable, waterfront, and easygoing, which is exactly why a serious injury here feels so jarring. A driver clips a pedestrian near the Beach Boulevard arts district, a cyclist goes down on Gulfport Boulevard, or a fall at a local business leaves you hurt and out of work. When that happens, a Gulfport personal injury lawyer helps you recover what you are owed. At Jones Law Group, we have recovered more than $50 million for injured clients across Pinellas County, and we work on contingency, so you pay nothing unless we win.
Our office is just up the road in St. Petersburg, so we know Gulfport, from the marina and Shore Boulevard to the pedestrian-heavy blocks along Beach Boulevard South, and we know how local crashes and falls actually happen.

Injuries and roads around Gulfport
Gulfport’s compact, pedestrian-friendly layout is part of its charm and part of its risk. The blocks around Beach Boulevard South fill with people on foot, and cyclists and golf carts share the road throughout town. Gulfport Boulevard South (22nd Avenue South), 49th Street South, and the approaches from St. Petersburg carry the bulk of the traffic and the bulk of the crashes. If you are seriously hurt, you will likely be treated at Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital in St. Petersburg, Pinellas County’s only Level II trauma center, a short drive away. A Gulfport injury case is filed in Pinellas County, part of Florida’s Sixth Judicial Circuit.
What Florida law means for your claim
Two rules shape most Gulfport injury claims. You generally have two years from the date of injury to file suit, under Florida Statute § 95.11 as amended by HB 837 in . And Florida’s comparative negligence rule reduces your recovery by your share of fault, and bars it entirely if you are found more than 50% responsible. Because we work on contingency, there is no up-front cost to find out where you stand.
