Types of Cases We Handle in Tampa
Tampa Medical Malpractice Attorney
Home to some of the largest hospitals in the state, such as Tampa General Hospital,
AdventHealth Tampa and St. Joseph’s Hospital, Tampa has plenty of top-tier care facilities.
However, mistakes can be made.
When you visit your doctor, you put your trust in healthcare providers to make sure they’re doing their jobs correctly. When staff fail to do so, it can cause pain and suffering that lasts a lifetime.
If someone else’s mistake caused injury to you or a loved one, Weisser Law is here to work tirelessly to get you the compensation you deserve. Our team of skilled attorneys has secured millions in damages in medical malpractice cases throughout Florida and in the Tampa area.
Among the medical malpractice cases in Tampa that we’ve handled are:
- Anesthesia errors
- Birth injuries
- Delayed or missed diagnosis
- Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)
- Jaundice
- Oxygen deprivation
- Surgical errors
These cases often involve strict pre-suit procedures and require an expert review of the facts. That’s where our experience and expertise make the difference for our clients.
Tampa Car Accident Attorney
It’s not uncommon to get caught up in bad traffic on Tampa’s jammed roadways. Whether you’ve been injured on busy highways like I-275 or I-4, near Raymond James Stadium on game day, or you were hit by a distracted driver on Sheldon Road at Waters Avenue West, you need experience in the courtroom.
Florida’s complicated personal injury protection (PIP) insurance rules and comparative fault laws make it difficult for most people to understand just how much their case might be worth. Depending on the facts of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Lost wages and reduced future earning capacity
- Medical bills
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability
Weisser Law not only understands those laws, but we also know how insurance companies will try to bend them in order to avoid paying you fairly when you’ve been injured. Even if the crash was partially your fault, we work to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.

Tampa Personal Injury Attorney
Afternoons along the Tampa Riverwalk and evenings in Ybor City are part of what makes Tampa great. But if negligent owners don’t maintain their properties, preventable injuries can turn those happy memories into bad ones. Property owners are required to maintain their grounds, especially if they know — or should have known — about a dangerous condition.
Slip-and-fall accidents at shopping centers, unsafe pool facilities at luxury hotels, and poor lighting in parking garages are all examples of types of premises liability claims Weisser Law can handle for you.
The staff at Weisser Law is committed to building the strongest case possible using our wealth of resources and experience. Our attorneys have argued cases in the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida and throughout the state.
Not only will we keep you up to date with the progress of the case from day one, but we will handle all communication with the other side’s lawyers and prevent them from pressuring you into a settlement that undervalues you and the severity of your injuries.
Florida Laws That Impact Cases in Tampa
There are several different laws on the books that can drastically impact your cases. Depending on the type of injury, where it happened, who was involved, who caused the injury, and other factors, Florida’s legal system can be difficult to navigate. Specific requirements in Florida law that can impact your case include:
- Personal Injury Protection (PIP) deadlines
- Comparative fault rules
- Statute of limitations restrictions
- Medical malpractice pre-suit investigation requirements
Knowing these laws isn’t enough; you need a lawyer who knows how to make these laws work for you and strengthen your case. With decades of experience in courtrooms across Florida, Weisser Law is exactly the right lawyer you need to navigate Florida’s legal system.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire Weisser Law for cases in Tampa?

How much is my Tampa medical malpractice case worth?
We’d love to tell you exactly how much you can expect based on your injuries, but the reality is, each case has its own unique facts that shape how much compensation you can or should seek. While we can’t tell you immediately what your case is worth, contacting Weisser Law is your best chance to learn what damages you can realistically expect to receive.
Do I need a lawyer for a car accident claim?
Insurance companies are trained to minimize payouts by offering settlements that often greatly undervalue the case’s true worth. If you suffered significant injuries, permanent impairment, or high medical bills, hiring a lawyer is the biggest step you can take to getting the compensation you deserve.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida?
In most cases, Florida allows a personal injury lawsuit to be filed within 2 years of the accident. Medical malpractice claims also generally have a two-year limitation period, but special rules apply. Contacting Weisser Law as soon as you realize something has gone wrong can help you avoid missing important deadlines in your case.
