The Abrahamson & Uiterwyk Attorneys and Tampa Injury Law Team

A system of hiring an attorney on an hourly basis rewards inefficiency, creates delays and commonly creates negative issues between the lawyer and the client. Representing clients on a contingency basis in which the law firm earns a percentage of the settlement, however, is much more rewarding for the client and the injury attorneys.

What Our Clients Say About Our Tampa Injury Law Firm

Over 1,000 5-star reviews.

"This firm was nothing but relentless when it came to fighting for me and my family. I had thousands in hospitals bills from an unexpected car accident and didn’t know where to begin…By the time Mr Hoffman and Amy was done with those jokers I had my bills paid and money in my pocket! Look no further than Abrahamson & Uiterwyk for the best in Tampa! "

– Chris Katts

"It was a pleasure to deal with real professionals. Their staff takes the time to do thing right. The ‘Big’ law firm did not want to waste their time to even discuss my case after a 5 minute phone consult. I guess it appeared to them that my claim would not be worth millions to them. So on to the next call. The injury attorneys took the time to listen and handled things professionally. "

– Curt T.

"This law firm may be the best law firm in all of Florida. I highly recommend these attorneys if you were involved in an accident. Abrahamson & Uiterwyk went above & beyond for me & I will always be grateful for that. I Thank GOD for these attorneys. "

"After experiencing a car accident (collision from behind while stopped at a red light) and the injuries that came along with it, A&U attorneys and staff were the consummate professionals in handling all of the legal steps involved with dealing with the other attorneys and arranged the physical rehabilitation process. Their professional and caring approach was greatly appreciated during a trying time. My heartfelt Thank you to A&U. "

I highly recommend Abrahamson & Uiterwyk, and my attorney Tomas Gacio. "

View All Client Reviews

Our experience is that we typically get our Tampa injury clients significantly more compensation than what the insurance companies initially offer. Sometimes the insurance company denies complete responsibility for the injury because they either claim that their insured was not at fault or that the injured person contributed to the situation, or the insurance company sometimes claims a lack of insurance coverage when, in reality, insurance coverage does exist. Additionally, it is very common that the insurance company’s initial offer is unrealistically low. Many times, it takes extensive and aggressive legal negotiation and potential litigation to obtain our clients’ fair and just compensation. Below are examples of the insurance companies beginning offers, as well as the ultimate injury compensation result obtained by our Tampa injury lawyers, for some of our actual Tampa clients.

Recent Tampa Case Settlement Example

$250,000/Auto Accident/Tampa/2023

Our client was a 22-year-old administrative assistant at the time of this tragic accident. As she was headed down 22nd street in Tampa, the defendant negligently drove through the stop sign at the Selmon Expressway exit ramp violating our client’s right of way and causing a severe “T-bone” collision.

Our client was taken to the hospital where it was quickly determined that she had suffered a severe fracture of her left wrist with obvious deformity. This injury required immediate surgery in the form of an open reduction and internal fixation procedure. Due to the extensiveness of the fracture, she also sustained nerve damage and required considerable physical therapy and rehabilitation after her surgery. Finally, she was left with an obvious scar as a result of her injury.

The defendant had an insurance policy with a maximum payout of $250,000.00. Despite the severity of our client’s injury, the insurance company offered only $100,000.00 in response to our demand for the policy limits. We immediately rejected this paltry offer and continued to insist that the company pay our client the maximum amount. Ultimately, the insurance company agreed to pay its $250,000.00 limit. We were also able to negotiate our client’s medical expenses to a much lower amount which enabled her to recover even more compensation. She was delighted with the result, and we were happy we were able to achieve it for her.

Initial Settlement Offer	Final Result	The A&U Difference

$14,500	$350,000	$335,000

$20,000,000

Verdict

A teenage male was killed while riding an ATV.

$20,000,000

Verdict

Pasco County, FL

A teenage male was killed while riding an ATV. His neighbor invited him to drive the ATV. He was permitted to operate the ATV without proper safety equipment and without adult supervision. While operating the ATV on the defendant’s property, the teenage male struck a barbwire fence and was decapitated. The defendant’s homeowner insurance failed to timely appoint an attorney to represent the defendant. Subsequent to a default judgment granted by the Court against the defendant, the attorney, who was finally appointed for the insurance company, withdrew from representation of the defendant and we proceeded to trial. At trial, the jury found in favor of the teenage male and awarded his parents $20 million in damages. After trial we proceeded against the insurance company in an effort to collect the judgement. Of course, the insurance company had various defenses which they vigorously asserted. Ultimately a seven figure settlement was reached which enabled our clients to receive some compensation for the tragic loss of their son.
$11,100,000

Verdict

Our client was riding his motor scooter on the Melbourne Causeway (US 192) when he was rear-ended by the at-fault driver.

$11,100,000

Verdict

Brevard County

Our firm's recent jury verdict illustrates the importance of drivers being diligent in watching out for motorcyclists. Our client was riding his motor scooter on the Melbourne Causeway (US 192) when he was rear-ended by the at-fault driver. He sustained a traumatic brain injury resulting in severe brain damage. He had over $800,000 in medical bills and had significant limitations as a result of the brain injury. We took the case to trial. On the evening of August 11, 2011, a Brevard County jury rendered a verdict in favor of our client for just under $15 million dollars. The jury found that our client was 25% comparatively negligent for not wearing a helmet. Thus, the net verdict was over $11.1 million dollars. We were able to collect the entire insurance proceeds. We pursued a "bad faith" claim against the insurance company in which we attempted to collect the judgment amount which was in excess of their insurance policy. We also pursued an action against additional defendants which were alleged to have contributed to our client's serious injuries. That case was eventually settled for a substantial amount. We hope that these results will enable our client to receive the medical treatment and continual care which he needs for the duration of his life.

At the time of the incident, the child did not have access to the crosswalk due to the fact that the sidewalk was under repair.

A law suit was filed against both the driver of the truck and his employer and the contractor who was working on the road and sidewalk.

One of the biggest mistakes you can make after an accident is to admit guilt. Even if you don’t think you are, just the act of saying “I’m sorry,” could be used against you. DO NOT admit any wrongdoing or make any offers to pay for damage.

After filing a claim, you may be contacted by the other party’s insurance company. Do not provide any statement to them regarding the details of the situation or your version of the events until you have had a chance to speak with an expert personal injury lawyer near you.

These statements will be used against you when it comes to determining liability and what your claim is worth.

Instead, advise the person contacting you that you are in the process of retaining a personal injury lawyer and will provide their contact information shortly.
