What Distasio Law Firm Does for Head-On Collision Victims in Tampa
Our firm is a full-service operation. When a head-on collision victim hires a Tampa lawyer from our firm for their case, we finish the case. Our goal is to recover a settlement or judgment that covers all of the client’s losses—both current and future.
We handle every step of our clients’ cases, which may include:
- An initial meeting with the client: We’ll meet with you as soon as possible. During our initial meeting, we’ll record your account of the accident, listen to how your damages have affected you, and answer any questions that you have. We may also explain our strategy for securing compensation.
- An investigation of the head-on collision: Every head-on collision happens under unique circumstances. We will gather evidence, speak with witnesses, review video footage, and take other steps to investigate your accident. Our investigation will help us determine liability and secure evidence that may clearly show liability.
- Documentation of damages: We want to create a clear picture of your losses. Medical records, family members’ testimonies, and other documentation will help prove your damages. Such documentation will be an important feature of your case.
- Dealings with insurers: Insurance companies are generally part of the legal process, even if you choose to pursue a lawsuit. Insurance companies can violate an accident victim’s rights and may ultimately cost the victim compensation. For this reason, we’ll deal with insurers for you.
- Settlement negotiations: Liable parties do not simply give money to accident victims, even when the victim is clearly deserving. We’ll need to negotiate for the settlement you deserve, and we will.
- A trial: Though accident cases do not often go to trial, Distasio Law Firm is always prepared to go to court. We don’t determine your case’s path ahead of time. If the events of your case lead us to a trial, we’ll fight hard in court.
Everything we do for you comes secondary to this mission of protecting your rights. If your rights are not safe, then nothing else matters. Our team will shield you from unwanted contact as we pursue fair compensation. You’ll be able to focus on your recovery because we’re handling legal matters.

Front-End Crashes Can Lead to Serious, Life-Altering Injuries
The causes of head-on collisions can vary widely. They may include distracted driving, speeding, reckless driving, fatigue or falling asleep, drunk driving, or other types of impaired driving.
Head-on collisions are among the most dangerous accident types. Injuries may include:
- Head injuries and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Back and neck injuries, including paralysis
- Chest injuries
- Internal injuries
- Injuries to the arms and legs
- Facial cuts and abrasions from airbags
- Burns and other injuries
Injuries in a head-on collision may be truly life-altering. They may require extensive rehabilitation and ongoing care, limit your mobility, and interfere with your ability to live independently. All too often, the victims sustain fatal injuries.

Time Limits on Filing a Tampa Head-On Collision Lawsuit
Florida generally imposes a statute of limitations, or legal time limit, on many types of lawsuits. If you allow the statute of limitations to expire without taking action in your Tampa head-on collision case, you could lose your right to hold the responsible driver liable via a lawsuit.
Under Florida Statute 95.11, the time limit to hold someone accountable for their negligence in a personal injury lawsuit is generally two years from the date of the accident. The general limit for wrongful death lawsuits in Florida is just two years from the date of the decedent’s passing.
