Mylah Ornduff
After being injured in a motor vehicle accident, choosing Roman Austin to represent me was one of the best decisions I could have made! Their team immediately stepped in with professionalism, compassion, and a clear plan to guide me through a confusing and stressful process. They handled every detail with impressive attention and kept me informed at every step, making sure I felt supported and understood. What stood out most was how genuinely they cared about my recovery—not just the case. I’m incredibly grateful for their dedication and highly recommend Roman Austin to anyone in need of trustworthy, skilled, and compassionate legal representation!
Response from the owner:We deeply cherish your trust in our team during such a challenging time, Mylah. Your recovery and support matter most to us.

I can’t say enough good things about Roman Austin Law Firm. From day one, they treated me with kindness, patience, and absolute professionalism. They explained everything clearly, kept me informed, and genuinely cared about helping me through a difficult time. Their hard work made a huge difference in my case, and I’m so grateful for their support. Exceptional team all around.
Response from the owner:We are pleased to hear about your positive experience. Your gratitude for our team's kindness and professionalism means everything to us.
Naelynn Perera
If you ever need a law firm who cares about you run to Roman Austin. John Austin and his staff are utterly wonderful. They helped me in my time of need with a car accident last year. They were quick to respond with any questions, everyone is knowledgeable, and always ready to help. I got a lot more than what I expected to get all because John said no to the initial offer. I will recommend them to everyone I know.
Response from the owner:Your positive feedback means everything. Thank you for trusting John Austin and our team during your difficult time.
Austin Sikes
I was involved in a car accident that caused significant pain and property damage, and from the start it was clear the insurance company was trying to lowball me and act like my injuries weren’t serious. That’s when I turned to Roman Austin, and I’m truly grateful I did.

Miles, Mark, Jennifer, and the rest of the team treated me like a real person, not just a case number. They stayed in constant communication, gave me personal attention every step of the way, and made sure I understood everything that was happening throughout the process. Their professionalism, compassion, and dedication made a difficult situation so much easier to navigate.

They fought hard for me all the way to the eve of trial, and sure enough the insurance company ended up returning with an offer five times higher than what they originally tried to give me. Roman Austin refused to let me settle for less than what I deserved, and they truly went the extra mile to protect my best interests.

I can honestly say they are the best car accident team in Hillsborough County and the surrounding Tampa Bay Area. I highly recommend Roman Austin to anyone who needs a firm that will actually fight for them. Billboard attorneys could never match the level of personal attention I received from Miles, Mark, Jennifer, and the entire staff. They made me feel like family, and I’m incredibly thankful for everything they did for me.
Response from the owner:We’re really grateful you took the time to share your story. It means a lot to our whole team to hear that you felt cared for and supported throughout such a tough experience. Miles, Mark, Jennifer, and everyone here truly believe in treating people with great care, so knowing that came through is incredibly meaningful. Insurance companies can make the process overwhelming, especially when they try to minimize what you’re going through. We’re glad you came to us so we could step in, keep you informed, and fight for the result you deserved. Thank you for trusting us during such a difficult time and for recommending us so highly. We’re wishing you continued healing, and we’re always here if you ever need anything down the road.
Joey Karpinski
I originally went with Morgan & Morgan since they're all over. But do to lack of communication I decided to go with Roman Austin. I can say that was the best decision I ever made. I'm so happy Roman Austin helped me with my bike accident. They are true advocates for cycling and really care for you. Thank you to John Austin and his stuff.
Response from the owner:We’re truly thankful you shared this, Joey. We’re glad you trusted our team to step in. At Roman Austin, we pride ourselves on giving clients the personal attention that other firms don't provide. John and our staff care deeply about cyclists and their safety, which is why we started the Not Just A Cyclist campaign! We appreciate you coming to us and are always here if you need anything down the road.

Jasmine Carrington
Roman Austin is the best!! I was hit while making a left turn into my neighborhood. I didn't think it was worth getting a lawyer involved. I was just going to deal with the pain. My mom's work friend told me about Roman Austin and how they treated her like her case was the only one they had. That’s exactly how they made me feel too. They treated me like a priority, not just another file on their desk.
Response from the owner:Thank you Jasmine! That is our mission, to exceed the expectations of each and every client. So glad we were able to help. We are always here if you need us!
Paul Westcott
I was hit by a car while walking on a sidewalk and had no idea what to do or where to start. The team at Roman Austin Personal Injury Lawyers guided me through every step of the process with professionalism, empathy, and incredible efficiency. They handled everything quickly and clearly explained what was happening at each stage. I felt supported and confident from start to finish. I’m so grateful for their help and would absolutely recommend them to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words Paul! Being hit while walking is incredibly stressful, and we’re grateful you trusted us to handle everything for you. Our goal is always to make the process as smooth as possible. We truly appreciate your recommendation, and are always here as a legal resource for you.

Mason K
Attorney John Austin demonstrated exceptional professionalism and commitment in handling my case. After a prior attorney told me it was “impossible” and not worth litigating, John accepted the challenge and pursued it with determination. His expertise, persistence, and client-focused approach resulted in an excellent recovery. I highly recommend John Austin to anyone seeking a dedicated and effective attorney.
Response from the owner:Thank you Mason for sharing your experience. We love to hear that John’s persistence and dedication made such a difference in your case.

Anicia Gau
As an attorney myself—albeit outside the personal injury field—I understood the importance of retaining experienced and reputable counsel after I was injured in a car accident while on vacation. From my very first interaction with the team at Roman Austin, I felt confident that I had made the right choice.

They were incredibly kind, responsive, transparent, and thorough throughout the entire process. Being out of state could have made this experience much more stressful, but Roman Austin handled everything seamlessly and kept me informed every step of the way.

Their professionalism, compassion, and sharp legal skills made all the difference. I was able to focus on recovering while they managed the legal side with confidence and care. They secured an outcome I was very happy with, and I never felt like just another file on their desk.

I wholeheartedly recommend Roman Austin to anyone needing personal injury representation. As a fellow legal professional, I can say they truly set the bar high.
Response from the owner:Thank you Anicia, we're truly honored by your words, especially coming from a fellow attorney. Your trust in us during such a critical time is something we don’t take lightly. Thank you for your heartfelt recommendation, it reflects exactly why we do what we do.

I got into a car accident on a late Friday night and I called a few lawyers on Saturday and none of them called me back except for Mr Austin he was very nice,professional and sounded like he knew what he was talking about and I live in Tampa and I didn't realize that they were located in Palm Harbor but I didn't even have to leave my house for anything which was awesome because I was in a lot of pain and so he just sent me the paperwork and I just signed it on my phone so that was super cool and all the people in the office were really nice I was going through a lot of things besides the car accident so the people in the office were very helpful to me at that time. I especially want to thank Stephanie and Jennifer they were wonderful I really can't thank them enough they helped me more than they know, being in a car accident is very stressful if you've never been in one you don't know.So I would highly recommend Roman and Austin to anybody that has been in a car accident.

Jerry from Orlando
I got rear-ended so hard I was concussed. Thankfully I had the luck of being recommended to Miles Hickman after the opposing insurance party was being extremely stubborn to the point of almost insulting with what they were offering.

Miles and his team got me *double* what they initially offered…

Miles and the wonderful staff over there were concerned, and personally invested in my case. They made me feel more like a member of their family than just a simple client.

He and the amazing staff there always made sure I was aware of what was happening, and never was inconvenienced by me reaching out and always got back to me asap!

My attorney on the case made the opposing party well aware it was in their best interest to settle instead of drag things out like they had been. Which they did.

Would highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It was our pleasure being of service to you and are so glad you were happy with our promotion resolution!
Rev Mo
Gave us great advice on phone at no charge
Would definitely use them in the future👍👍👍👍

Yadelous was one of the people I had spoken to over the phone and she represented the company well! Very pleased with the professionalism of everyone and the ability to help through my hard times.
Response from the owner:Thank you Carrie! We are so glad you had a good experience with our firm.
Kerina Dubric
Attorney John Austin is professional and kind. He communicates through email often when you have questions and phone as needed. He doesn’t tell you what you want to hear but tells you what you need to hear because he listens to you and you feel heard and not rushed. We would use Roman Austin again and will refer out to anyone needing an excellent Personal Injury Attorney.

How Much Does It Cost To Hire A Tampa Personal Injury Attorney?

Most Florida personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. That means they charge nothing upfront. They will only charge you for the representation if they recover compensation for you through a settlement or verdict. If they fail to recover compensation for you, you won’t pay them any money.

Most personal injury attorneys in Tampa also offer no-charge consultations to prospective clients. Therefore, with the contingency fee system, the risks in hiring legal help for your case are minimal.

Car Accidents

Combined Shape Created with Sketch.

The costs and consequences of a car accident in Tampa can be devastating. If you want to recover compensation, Florida’s no-fault rules direct that you’ll have to turn to your own insurance provider for assistance first. However, don’t expect your insurer to just write you a check for the full cost of your injuries. They’ll put up a fight and work to minimize your payout. Our Tampa car accident lawyers can help you navigate the claims process, work to secure a full payout, and then pursue additional damages from negligent parties, if necessary.

Brain Injuries

A brain injury can be terrifying and life-changing. Even though many types of brain injuries can heal over time, others will not. Brain trauma victims struggle with the consequences of their injury for life. That can get to be emotionally, physically, and financially draining. If someone else is responsible for the accident that caused your traumatic injury, you might be entitled to financial compensation. Contact our Tampa brain injury lawyers for help today.

Bicycle Accidents

Combined Shape Created with Sketch.

Even when wearing a helmet, a bicyclist is still susceptible to severe, catastrophic injuries in the event of an auto accident in Tampa. Many times, bike accidents are caused by distracted or impaired motorists. However, those same motorists who cause these crashes blame the riders for getting hurt. Our Tampa bicycle accident lawyers will defend you if and when you are blamed for a bicycle accident. We’ll work to gather evidence to show that the negligent motorist – and not you – is at fault and financially responsible for your injuries.

Motorcycle Accidents

Combined Shape Created with Sketch.

When a motorcyclist is involved in a motor vehicle accident, the outcome can be tragic. Even if a rider survives their injuries, they may struggle with long-term disabilities and suffer from severe PTSD. In turn, the costs of a motorcycle crash can be quite burdensome.

Truck accidents aren’t all that uncommon in and around Hillsborough County. Many times, these catastrophic accidents occur because a driver and/or trucking companies violate federal and state safety regulations. This might involve driving for longer that is permitted by law or failing to regularly inspect and maintain a fleet of vehicles. These violations can be used as support for an injury claim as our truck accident lawyers pursue damages for your medical expenses, lost income, disability, and pain and suffering.

Personal Injury FAQ

  • Do I Have a Personal Injury Claim?

    Not all injuries and accidents result in a personal injury case. Likewise, not all will justify the time and expense to pursue an injury claim. You can gauge whether you have an injury case by asking the following:

    • Were you seriously injured?
    • Was someone else responsible?
    • Do you have expenses after the accident, such as medical bills or lost wages?
    • Do you have non-economic losses like pain and suffering or emotional distress?

    If you answered yes to these questions, you likely have a claim. The best way to make sure you have a case is to consult an experienced attorney. Roman Austin would be proud to examine your case and explain your rights and options.

  • Common Injuries in Personal Injury Lawsuits

    Tampa personal injury lawsuits arise out of various accidents and injuries. Common injuries include the following:

    • Broken bones
    • Back injury
    • Traumatic brain injury
    • Whiplash
    • Burns
    • Amputation
    • Paralysis
    • Head and neck injuries
    • Soft tissue injury
    • Nerve damage
    • Spinal cord injury
    • Joint injuries
    • Crush injuries
    • Internal organ damage
    • Chest injuries

    Seek medical assistance immediately if you are injured in an accident. Delaying or refusing treatment can negatively impact your injuries and a subsequent claim.

    Your medical bills, medical records, and photos of visible injuries can be used as evidence to strengthen the validity of your claim.

  • How Much Money Can I Get for My Tampa Personal Injury Case?

    It depends. The value of your case depends on many different factors. Those factors are unique to you, and no other previous case provides a perfect example of what you can get. The money you can get for your injury claim will depend on the following:

    • The extent of your medical costs
    • The amount of work you’ve had to miss
    • Whether you’ve endured pain and suffering
    • Available insurance coverages
    • Whether you shared fault for the accident
    • The strength of your evidence.

    The quickest way to get an idea of the value of your claim is to consult us. Our legal team can record and calculate all your damages, bringing in experts when necessary. We would be happy to help you figure out your case’s worth.

  • How Much Time Do I Have To File a Lawsuit in Florida?

    There may be exceptions to the general two-year deadlineThe statute of limitations sets a deadline to file a Florida personal injury lawsuit against another party. For most negligence-based cases, you have two years from the injury date to take legal action. A court will likely dismiss your case if you fail to file your lawsuit within the applicable time frame.

    There may be exceptions to the general two-year deadline, meaning you could have less (or more) time to act. Therefore, it’s crucial to speak with a qualified attorney to protect your right to compensation.

  • How to Prove a Personal Injury Lawsuit

    Most personal injury claims revolve around negligence.
    Negligence means that a person failed to act reasonably and injured another person.In order to have a successful negligence claim, you must prove four elements:

    • Duty – You must show that the defendant owed you a duty of care. Duties typically arise from the law or from a special relationship between the parties.
    • Breach of Duty – You must prove that the defendant breached their duty. You will do this by showing they failed to act like a reasonable person in the circumstances leading up to your accident or injury.
    • Causation – You will have to establish that the defendant’s breach caused your accident. You must prove that your injuries wouldn’t have happened had it not been for the defendant’s conduct. You will also have to show your injuries were foreseeable.
    • Damages – You must show you suffered damages related to your injury.

    You must prove each element to win your case. If you fail to prove just one, you won’t be able to obtain any compensation. This highlights the importance of having a skilled attorney on your side. Reach out to our legal team for help proving negligence and getting justice in your case.

  • What If I’m Partly At Fault For My Accident?

    Florida is a modified comparative negligence state. This means that you can recover compensation even if you were partially to blame for your personal injury. You can still recover damages if you are less than 51% at fault for your injuries. However, your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your amount of fault.

    You will be barred from recovering compensation if you are more than 50% at fault for your injuries. A skilled Tampa personal injury attorney can help you combat allegations that you contributed to your injuries.

  • What To Do After an Unexpected Injury

    Accidents are unexpected and can drastically affect your daily life. Understanding what to do after an accident occurs can help make this challenging time more manageable.

    Take the following steps after an accident:

    • Get medical attention
    • Dial 911 and obtain an accident report
    • Exchange insurance details and contact information
    • Take photos and videos of the accident scene and injuries
    • Gather statements from witnesses
    • Notify the insurance provider of the accident
    • Consult our Tampa personal injury lawyers

    You should never admit fault while at the accident scene or when speaking to an insurance adjuster. Do not agree to provide a recorded statement for the insurance company, as your words can be used against you to deny your claim.

    You can avoid making crucial missteps after an unexpected injury by contacting our law firm immediately.
