Practice Areas We Handle in Westshore

Westshore mixes office towers, shopping centers, the stadium district, and the airport, which means the injuries we see here run the full range. Whatever happened to you, there is a good chance we have handled a case like it within a mile of where you are sitting right now.

Our Westshore clients come to us for:

Westshore – 33607 – Local Facts

Westshore is the largest commercial district in the Tampa Bay region.

More than 6,500 businesses operate here, employing over 100,000 people across roughly 15 million square feet of office space. International Plaza and Bay Street, Westshore Plaza, Raymond James Stadium, and dozens of hotels all sit inside the district, and Tampa International Airport borders it to the north.

That concentration of jobs, shopping, and travel means the daytime population swells far beyond the number of people who actually live here, and the roads carry that load every weekday.

The district is wrapped by major routes. I-275 cuts through the eastern edge, the Veterans Expressway (SR 589) drops in from the north, and N Dale Mabry Highway and W Kennedy Boulevard run straight through the commercial core. Our office at 4350 W Cypress St sits a block off Dale Mabry, one of the busiest surface roads in the county.

When someone is hurt here, the closest major hospital is St. Joseph’s Hospital at 3001 W Dr Martin Luther King Jr Blvd. Tampa General Hospital on Davis Islands and AdventHealth Tampa handle the more specialized trauma cases.

The numbers behind all this are not small. Hillsborough County recorded 26,260 traffic crashes in 2024, with more than 17,000 injuries and 181 deaths, according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. A large share of that volume moves through Westshore’s corridors.

Common Accident Locations in Westshore

A handful of Westshore intersections show up again and again in crash reports, and most of them sit on or near Dale Mabry Highway.

• N Dale Mabry Hwy and W Kennedy Blvd: Two of the district’s heaviest arterials meet here, with constant commercial traffic, frequent lane changes, and turning movements that lead to T-bone and rear-end collisions.
• N Westshore Blvd and W Kennedy Blvd: A busy commuter and shopping crossing that backs up at rush hour and around stadium events.
• N Dale Mabry Hwy and W Columbus Dr: A corridor with a documented history of injury crashes, including serious and fatal wrecks.
• N Dale Mabry Hwy and Dr Martin Luther King Jr Blvd: High-speed through traffic feeds the hospital campus and the residential streets behind it.
• W Cypress St and N Westshore Blvd: The stretch around our own office, where office-park traffic mixes with through drivers cutting between Kennedy and the airport.

If your crash happened at one of these spots, we likely already know the road layout, the sight-line problems, and the traffic patterns that cause wrecks there. That local knowledge matters when we reconstruct how a collision happened and who was at fault.

What to Do After an Injury in Westshore

The steps you take in the first hours after an injury can decide what your case is worth later. Here is what we tell people in Westshore to do.

First, get medical care

Call 911 if anyone is seriously hurt, or go to St. Joseph’s Hospital at 3001 W Dr Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, which is the closest emergency room to most of the district. See a doctor even if you feel okay, because adrenaline hides injuries and a gap in treatment gives the insurance company an excuse to deny your claim.

Second, document the scene

Photograph the vehicles, the hazard that caused your fall, the intersection, the lighting, and your visible injuries. Get names and numbers from witnesses before they leave. In Westshore, the Tampa Police Department responds to crashes and writes the report, so make sure an officer documents what happened and get the report number.

Third, do not give a recorded statement

You should not give any recorded statement to the other side’s insurer and do not accept a fast settlement offer. Early offers are almost always low.
