The crash happened around 3:15 p.m. at the intersection of West Columbus Drive and Dale Mabry Highway, a busy crossing known for heavy traffic flow.

Car Accidents in Florida
Thousands of crashes take place each year on Florida roadways, many resulting in injuries that disrupt victims’ lives. Busy intersections in urban areas like Tampa are especially prone to collisions due to high traffic volumes, impatient drivers, and unexpected maneuvers. While defensive driving can help reduce the risk, accidents can still occur in a split second. Knowing what to do after a crash can make a big difference in your recovery and your claim.
Understanding what to expect can help you better prepare:
- Medical Bills: Even minor injuries can lead to expensive medical care, from emergency room visits to physical therapy. Keeping records of all treatment is crucial for your claim.
- Lost Wages: Many victims are unable to return to work right away. Lost income can cause significant financial strain during an already stressful time.
- Property Damage: Vehicle repairs or replacements can be costly. Insurance adjusters may offer less than you deserve, so having documentation helps you fight for a fair settlement.
- Pain and Suffering: Injuries can take a physical and emotional toll. Compensation for pain and suffering can help address the impact on your daily life and mental health.
If you were hurt, you should reach out to a trusted Tampa car accident attorney. Having an attorney by your side helps ensure that your rights are protected and that you do not face insurance companies alone. Acting soon after an accident can help secure the evidence you need.
