Areas of Practice
Automobile Accidents
Car accidents are a common sight in Tampa Bay; they are the leading cause of injury in the US. But seeing accidents around you and being in one are very different experiences.
After an accident, there are a million questions and concerns. Handling any medical issues is the priority, but eventually, the seemingly endless list starts to form: how do I get alternative transportation, do I file an insurance claim, how will it all be handled, is this fair?
At Del Rio Law Group, automobile accident cases are our most common case type, but we also understand that when you come to us for help, your case is specific to you and your needs. While every client benefits from our experienced team, we pride ourselves on understanding you and your case to get best-scenario results for your situation.
Motorcycle Accidents
Florida's weather and scenery match wonderfully with motorcycle rides. But as traffic and distracted driving increase, motorcycle accidents are more frequent and often devastating. These cases are complicated, often with severe injuries, higher expenses, and liability arguments — opposing parties may explain the accident with a bias against the rider.
That’s why we come in with our courtroom experience ready to litigate to make sure you receive a full and detailed evaluation to increase your opportunity of a favorable outcome.
Trucking Accidents
Trucking accidents can be incredibly scary — the size and speed of semi-trucks and other large vehicles automatically increase the severity of an accident.
Plus, additional rules and regulations for trucking companies and drivers complicate the legal process of trucking accidents. In these cases, on top of our usual case management, we handle additional research to make sure your case includes details like driver history, truck maintenance, and other factors. Your trucking accident case will be backed by strong research and experienced representation.
Bicycle & Pedestrian Accidents
A walk or a bike ride can be a simple pleasure (or a commute) but can turn devastating when drivers forget the rights of cyclists and pedestrians.
Unfortunately, insurance laws and coverages vary greatly for these types of accidents. That’s why retaining legal representation for these cases helps your case get the attention it deserves. Because our legal team takes the time to meet with every client we represent, you can feel confident that your case will be built around your specific situation and rights.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one is an extremely difficult situation financially, mentally, and emotionally.
Wrongful death can result from the negligence of others in an accident, defective products, or medical negligence. Florida’s "Florida Wrongful Death Act" controls these cases and allows two years to file a case, with exceptions making the time frame shorter or longer. That’s why it’s important to receive legal advice for these cases as soon as possible, considering your own emotional and mental state. We help you navigate every step of the legal process to help you receive compensation for your family after your loss.
Medical Malpractice
It can be difficult to understand whether you or your loved one is dealing with a case of medical malpractice or simply the possible outcomes of a medical procedure. We help you understand whether you have a case, what your legal rights are, and navigate the legal process of a medical malpractice case.
Malpractice cases include medical professionals, hospitals or medical facilities, and insurance companies, and have a two-year limit to file a claim. We’ll help you understand and build a legal strategy fully covering your experience and increasing your chances for fair compensation.
