Every day, serious car accidents occur on St Petersburg’s busiest roadways—I-275, US-19, 4th Street N, Central Avenue, and Gandy Boulevard. Whether you were rear-ended at a red light, T-boned by a driver running a stop sign, or involved in a multi-vehicle pileup, you need a St Petersburg car accident lawyer who knows Florida law, understands local court procedures in the 6th Judicial Circuit, and has proven success fighting insurance companies. We offer no-obligation consultations 24/7, handle your case on a no-fee-unless-we-win basis, and come to you with free home or hospital visits throughout Pinellas County.
Time-sensitive actions can significantly impact your claim’s value. If you’re able to do so safely, follow these critical steps:
Don’t wait. Florida’s statute of limitations gives you only four years to file a car accident lawsuit, but evidence disappears quickly and witness memories fade. Call us now for your free, no-obligation consultation.
St Petersburg’s unique traffic patterns, road conditions, and local court procedures demand an attorney who knows Pinellas County inside and out. Jones Law Group has spent over two decades handling car accident cases throughout St Petersburg neighborhoods—from Downtown’s congested streets to the Tyrone Square shopping district, from the Old Northeast’s historic avenues to Gateway’s busy commercial corridors.
We understand how accidents happen on problematic St Petersburg intersections like 4th Street N and Gandy Boulevard, where aggressive drivers frequently cause T-bone collisions, or on I-275 near the congested exits serving Tropicana Field, where distracted driving leads to devastating rear-end crashes. Our familiarity with local law enforcement procedures, relationships with Pinellas County medical providers, and experience in the 6th Judicial Circuit Court give our clients a distinct advantage.
Attorney Bobby Jones has successfully represented car accident victims in every St Petersburg zip code—33701, 33702, 33703, 33704, 33705, 33706, 33707, 33710, 33711, 33712, 33713, 33714, 33715, 33716—and throughout surrounding areas including Gulfport, South Pasadena, Kenneth City, and Lealman. This local knowledge translates directly into higher settlements and verdicts for our clients.
Florida is a no-fault state, meaning your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance covers initial medical bills regardless of who caused the accident. However, when injuries exceed Florida’s serious injury threshold—permanent injury, significant scarring, or substantial medical expenses—you can step outside the no-fault system to pursue a claim against the at-fault driver. This is where having an experienced St Petersburg car accident lawyer becomes critical. We know exactly how to demonstrate that your injuries meet Florida’s threshold requirements and maximize your compensation.
Jones Law Group represents victims of all types of car accidents throughout Pinellas County. Our experience covers:
St Petersburg’s stop-and-go traffic on Central Avenue and 4th Street N frequently results in rear-end accidents. These crashes often cause whiplash, back injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. Despite seeming minor, rear-end collisions can lead to chronic pain and permanent disability. We prove the full extent of your injuries and hold negligent drivers accountable.
Intersection accidents at St Petersburg’s busy crossroads—particularly along Tyrone Boulevard, Gandy Boulevard, and 22nd Avenue N—cause devastating side-impact injuries. When drivers run red lights or fail to yield, occupants on the struck side suffer broken bones, internal organ damage, and spinal cord injuries. These cases require immediate investigation to establish fault.
Though less common, head-on crashes represent the deadliest car accidents in St Petersburg. Wrong-way drivers on I-275 or Central Avenue, drunk drivers crossing center lines, and distracted drivers drifting into oncoming traffic cause catastrophic injuries and fatalities. Jones Law Group aggressively pursues maximum compensation for surviving victims and families who’ve lost loved ones.
Florida’s frequent rain and sudden fog create hazardous driving conditions on I-275 and the Gandy Bridge, leading to chain-reaction crashes involving multiple vehicles. These complex accidents require thorough investigation to identify all liable parties and insurance policies. We work with accident reconstruction experts to prove fault and maximize recovery from multiple defendants.
St Petersburg sees far too many hit-and-run crashes where negligent drivers flee the scene. If you’re injured by a phantom vehicle, we help you access your own uninsured motorist coverage and work with St Petersburg Police Department to identify the fleeing driver. Time is critical in these cases—contact us immediately at (727) 571-1333.
Despite strict DUI enforcement in Pinellas County, impaired drivers continue causing preventable tragedies on St Petersburg roads, particularly during evening hours and weekends. Florida law allows victims to pursue punitive damages against drunk drivers, significantly increasing compensation beyond standard injury damages.
Texting, phone calls, eating, and other distractions cause countless St Petersburg car accidents daily. Florida’s hands-free law prohibits texting while driving, making distracted drivers liable for resulting injuries. We subpoena phone records to prove distraction and establish negligence.
St Petersburg’s growing rideshare presence brings unique insurance challenges. Whether you’re a passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian struck by an Uber or Lyft vehicle, we navigate the complex coverage layers provided by rideshare companies and their drivers’ personal insurance.
Delivery trucks, commercial vans, and semi-trucks traveling through St Petersburg on I-275 and US-19 cause severe accidents due to their size and weight. These cases involve federal regulations, corporate defendants, and substantial insurance policies. Jones Law Group has the resources to take on commercial trucking companies and their insurers.
No matter what type of car accident caused your injuries, call (727) 571-1333 for a free case evaluation. We handle all St Petersburg car accident cases on a no-fee-unless-we-win basis.
Florida’s unique insurance and personal injury laws directly impact your ability to recover compensation after a St Petersburg car accident. Understanding these legal principles helps you make informed decisions about your claim.
No-Fault Insurance System: Florida requires all drivers carry $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. After an accident, your PIP pays up to $10,000 for medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault. However, PIP only covers 80% of medical expenses and 60% of lost wages, leaving gaps in coverage.
Serious Injury Threshold: To step outside no-fault protection and sue the at-fault driver, your injuries must meet Florida’s serious injury threshold: permanent injury within a reasonable degree of medical probability, permanent scarring or disfigurement, or more than $10,000 in medical expenses. Jones Law Group documents your injuries to clearly establish you’ve met this threshold.
Modified Comparative Negligence: Florida follows a pure comparative negligence system. If you’re partially at fault for the accident, your compensation reduces by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re 20% at fault for a $100,000 claim, you recover $80,000. Insurance companies exploit this rule by exaggerating your fault—we fight their tactics with evidence proving the other driver’s primary responsibility.
Four-Year Statute of Limitations: You have four years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida. While this seems generous, critical evidence disappears quickly. Witnesses move away, video footage gets deleted, and memories fade. Don’t wait—contact Jones Law Group immediately to preserve your right to compensation.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage: Despite Florida’s insurance requirements, many St Petersburg drivers operate vehicles without adequate coverage. UM/UIM coverage on your own policy protects you when at-fault drivers can’t pay for your injuries. We help you access all available insurance policies, including your own UM/UIM coverage when necessary.
Understanding the legal process reduces anxiety and helps you make informed decisions about your case. Here’s what typically happens when Jones Law Group represents you:
Free Initial Consultation: Contact us at (727) 571-1333 or through our website anytime, day or night. We’ll discuss your accident, injuries, and legal options during a confidential, no-obligation consultation. We come to you if you’re unable to travel due to injuries.
Investigation and Evidence Gathering (Weeks 1-4): We immediately begin investigating your accident. Our team obtains the police report, photographs the accident scene, interviews witnesses, secures surveillance footage, and requests your medical records. We may hire accident reconstruction experts for complex cases. Early investigation is critical—evidence disappears quickly.
Medical Treatment and Documentation (Ongoing): Continue all prescribed medical treatment. We work with Pinellas County healthcare providers, ensuring you receive quality care regardless of your current ability to pay. Complete medical documentation proves the full extent of your injuries and directly impacts your settlement value. Never miss appointments or stop treatment early.
Demand Package and Negotiation (Weeks 8-16): Once you’ve reached maximum medical improvement or your treatment is ongoing with a clear prognosis, we prepare a comprehensive demand package for the insurance company. This document includes all medical records, bills, wage loss documentation, and evidence proving the other driver’s fault. We aggressively negotiate for full compensation.
Settlement or Litigation (Months 4-12+): Most car accident cases settle during negotiation. If the insurance company refuses a fair offer, we file a lawsuit in Pinellas County Circuit Court. Litigation involves discovery, depositions, and potentially a trial before a Pinellas County jury. Bobby Jones is known as friendly to clients but aggressive in the courtroom—insurance companies know we won’t back down.
Resolution: Whether through settlement or trial verdict, we ensure you receive maximum compensation. We handle all paperwork, negotiate medical liens, and ensure you keep the most money possible after all bills are paid.
Throughout this process, Jones Law Group handles everything while you focus on recovery. We communicate directly with insurance adjusters, deal with medical providers, and fight for every dollar you deserve. You pay nothing unless we win your case.
Every car accident case is unique, but understanding the types of compensation available helps you evaluate settlement offers. Jones Law Group fights to recover:
Economic Damages (Calculable Financial Losses):
Non-Economic Damages (Subjective Losses):
Punitive Damages (Available in Limited Cases):
When the at-fault driver’s conduct was particularly reckless—such as drunk driving or extreme speeding—Florida law allows punitive damages designed to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct. These damages can significantly increase your total recovery.
Factors Affecting Your Case Value:
Injury Severity: Catastrophic injuries like traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, or permanent disability result in higher compensation than minor injuries requiring limited treatment.
Medical Expenses: Total medical costs, including future treatment needs, directly impact settlement value. A $5,000 emergency room visit yields less compensation than $150,000 in ongoing surgical care.
Lost Income: High earners who miss significant work time recover more for wage losses. Permanent disabilities affecting future earning capacity substantially increase case value.
Clear Liability: Cases with indisputable fault (drunk driving, rear-end collision, red light violation) settle for more than disputed liability scenarios.
Insurance Coverage: At-fault drivers with minimal coverage limit potential recovery. Multiple liable parties or commercial vehicle accidents often involve higher policy limits.
Age and Life Expectancy: Younger victims with decades of reduced quality of life ahead receive higher pain and suffering awards than older individuals with similar injuries.
Our track record includes a $2.5 million car accident settlement and a $989,000 verdict, demonstrating our commitment to maximum recovery for our clients. While past results don’t guarantee future outcomes, they reflect our aggressive approach and trial-ready reputation. Insurance companies know Jones Law Group won’t accept lowball offers—we take cases to trial when necessary to achieve justice for our clients.

We know local courts, judges, insurance adjusters, and medical providers personally—relationships that benefit our clients.
No Fees Unless We Win: You pay absolutely nothing upfront and nothing out of pocket. We advance all case costs—expert witnesses, filing fees, investigation expenses—and only collect attorney fees if we win your case. If we don’t recover compensation, you owe us nothing.
Available 24/7: Car accidents don’t happen on a 9-to-5 schedule. We answer calls, texts, and emails around the clock because we understand you need immediate help, reassurance, and legal protection when you’re injured and overwhelmed.

Bilingual Services: We serve St Petersburg’s diverse community with bilingual staff members who communicate effectively in English and Spanish, ensuring you fully understand your rights and case progress.
Trial-Ready Approach: While many car accident cases settle, insurance companies know Jones Law Group isn’t afraid of the courtroom. Our trial-ready reputation motivates insurers to offer fair settlements rather than risk a jury verdict that could cost them far more.
While car accidents represent a significant portion of our practice, Jones Law Group helps injured St Petersburg residents with all types of personal injury claims:
E-Bike and Electric Scooter Accidents: St Petersburg’s growing e-bike and scooter presence brings unique injury risks. We handle collisions involving electric bikes, rental scooters, and personal mobility devices.
Bicycle Accidents: St Petersburg’s bike lanes and shared roads see frequent bicycle crashes. We represent cyclists injured by negligent drivers on Beach Drive, Bayshore Drive, and throughout Pinellas County.
Motorcycle Accidents: Florida’s year-round riding weather makes St Petersburg popular with motorcyclists, but car drivers often fail to see riders, causing devastating crashes. We fight for full compensation for our injured motorcycle clients.
Pedestrian Accidents: Crosswalk accidents, parking lot incidents, and sidewalk crashes injure St Petersburg pedestrians daily. We hold negligent drivers accountable for striking vulnerable pedestrians.
Catastrophic Injury Cases: When accidents cause traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, amputations, severe burns, or other life-altering harm, you need attorneys experienced with high-value, complex claims. We have the resources and expertise to handle catastrophic injury cases.
Truck Accidents: Commercial truck crashes on I-275 and US-19 cause severe injuries due to size disparity. We navigate federal trucking regulations and take on corporate defendants.
Wrongful Death Claims: When negligent drivers kill St Petersburg residents, surviving family members deserve justice and compensation. We compassionately guide families through wrongful death claims while aggressively pursuing accountability.
Slip and Fall Accidents: Premises liability cases involving hazardous conditions at St Petersburg businesses, apartment complexes, and public spaces.
Dog Bites: Florida’s strict liability dog bite law protects attack victims. We handle serious dog bite and animal attack cases throughout Pinellas County.
No matter what type of accident injured you, Jones Law Group provides experienced, compassionate representation throughout St Petersburg and Pinellas County.
Jones Law Group works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront costs and no attorney fees unless we win your case. We advance all case expenses—investigation costs, expert witnesses, filing fees—and only collect our fee as a percentage of your recovery. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing. This arrangement allows injured victims to access experienced legal representation regardless of their current financial situation.
Florida’s statute of limitations gives you four years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, waiting reduces your case value as evidence disappears and witnesses become unavailable. Additionally, if your accident involved a government vehicle (city bus, police car, county vehicle), different notice requirements apply with much shorter deadlines. Contact Jones Law Group immediately to protect your rights.
Florida follows pure comparative negligence, meaning your compensation reduces by your percentage of fault, but you can still recover damages even if you’re 99% at fault. Insurance companies often exaggerate your fault to minimize their payout. We gather evidence proving the other driver’s primary responsibility and fight inflated fault percentages. Don’t let insurance adjusters convince you that partial fault bars recovery—call us for an honest case evaluation.
Insurance companies often make quick lowball offers before you fully understand your injury’s severity and long-term impact. Initial settlements seem appealing when you’re facing bills, but they rarely cover future medical needs, ongoing pain, or lost earning capacity. Once you accept and sign a release, you cannot pursue additional compensation even if your condition worsens. Always consult Jones Law Group at (727) 571-1333 before accepting any settlement offer—our evaluation is free.
Uninsured drivers cause thousands of Florida accidents annually despite mandatory insurance laws. If an uninsured driver injured you, we help you access your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage if you purchased it. Your UM coverage pays for injuries the at-fault driver should have covered. We also investigate whether any other parties share liability—vehicle owners, employers, bars that overserved drunk drivers—to identify additional insurance sources.
Case timelines vary significantly based on injury severity, liability disputes, and whether litigation becomes necessary. Simple cases with clear fault and minor injuries may settle within 3-6 months. Complex cases involving serious injuries, disputed liability, or trial often take 12-24 months. While we work efficiently, we never rush your case or settle prematurely just to close the file. Your recovery and maximum compensation are our priorities.
Most car accident cases settle through negotiation without requiring court appearance. However, if insurance companies refuse fair compensation, we file a lawsuit and may proceed to trial. Even after filing suit, most cases settle before trial during mediation or continued negotiation. If trial becomes necessary, attorney Bobby Jones personally represents you before a Pinellas County jury. Throughout the process, we prepare you for what to expect and handle all legal proceedings.
