Hurt in a crash on Dale Mabry? Watching an insurer slow-walk the claim on your Seminole Heights bungalow? This page is for you. Suli Law Group is a Tampa personal injury law firm led by Founding Attorney Laura Topalli Sulisufay, a former insurance defense lawyer. Our office is in Carrollwood at 3411 W. Fletcher Ave., and Tampa is where we live, drive, and try cases.
Laura spent years on the insurance companies’ side of the table. She knows how they value a Tampa claim, where they hunt for weaknesses, and what finally makes them take one seriously. Now that knowledge runs through the whole firm, and it works for you. No upfront cost, and no fee unless we win.
Tampa injury cases are filed in Hillsborough County’s Thirteenth Judicial Circuit and heard at the George E. Edgecomb Courthouse on Twiggs Street downtown. It’s a big circuit, roughly seventy judges across two courthouses, and cases move on schedules that reward preparation. We know that building, its judges’ posted procedures, and the rhythms of a Hillsborough jury pool. When a case belongs in federal court instead, the Middle District of Florida sits downtown too. Venue is strategy, and it starts on day one.
The crashes follow patterns. I-275 through downtown and Westshore. The I-4 interchange drivers call Malfunction Junction. Dale Mabry running the length of the city, and the daily grind on Hillsborough Avenue through Town ‘N’ Country. Bruce B. Downs through New Tampa and the Selmon Expressway round out the list: fast roads, hard merges, distracted drivers. Knowing how these roads fail helps us reconstruct how your crash happened and rebut the adjuster’s version of it.
Property claims follow patterns too. When a storm pushes water up Hillsborough Bay, low-lying streets flood. Older roofs in Seminole Heights and South Tampa take wind damage, and carriers reach for “wear and tear” either way. A historic frame house in Ybor City and a waterfront home on Davis Islands don’t fail the same way, and neither do their policies. The claim has to be built around the house, so we read the policy, not the adjuster’s summary of it.
One more thing about timing, because Tampa traffic gives you enough to deal with. Florida’s no-fault system expects you to see a qualifying provider within fourteen days of a crash, and property policies expect prompt notice after a storm. So photograph everything the day it happens, keep the crash report number, and skip the recorded statement until someone has read your file. Those three habits protect more Tampa cases than any courtroom move we make.

From Carrollwood, we cover the whole map: Seminole Heights, Ybor City, Hyde Park, Davis Islands, Harbour Island, Channelside, Westshore, South Tampa, New Tampa, and Temple Terrace, plus Town ‘N’ Country, Brandon, Riverview, and out to Plant City in eastern Hillsborough.

If your case sits outside the county, start at our areas we serve page. St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Wesley Chapel, New Port Richey, Lutz, Bradenton, and Sarasota each have a page of their own.
Almost always in the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit at the George E. Edgecomb Courthouse downtown, unless the case belongs in federal court or a stronger venue exists in another county. Filing is a strategic decision, and we explain ours before we make it.
Yes. Hurricane, roof, and water claims on Tampa homes are core work for us, including claims a carrier already denied or underpaid. Don't accept the first number. Let us read the policy and the denial letter first.
No. Phone or video handles almost everything, and we come to you when injuries make travel hard. If you'd rather talk across a desk, we're at 3411 W. Fletcher Ave., Ste. B.
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency: no fee unless we win. Fees and costs are explained clearly and in writing before your case begins.
Tell us what happened. If someone hurt you in Tampa, or your insurer won't honor the policy on your Tampa home, call or text. You'll get a straight read on where you stand and what to do next, free.
