The History of Bay Crest Park in Tampa, Florida
Bay Crest Park is a quaint, picturesque neighborhood in Hillsborough County on the outskirts of Tampa, Florida. Its waterfront homes and close-knit community has welcomed residents since the 1960s. “Block Captains” on every street promote a sense of pride and community throughout the neighborhood. Bay Crest Park is surrounded by Old Tampa Bay and has its own boat ramp for residents.
Bay Crest Park is one of the neighborhoods included in the Census area designated as Town ‘n’ Country. In the first half of the 20th century, there were little more than cattle farms in the area. It now provides a peaceful place for families, with easy access to parks and recreation areas. With Memorial Parkway to the northwest, it still provides access to all that Tampa offers.
Some of the Bay Crest Park neighborhood’s most notable attractions include:
- Busch Gardens Tampa Bay
- ZooTampa at Lowry Park
- Upper Tampa Bay Park
- Tampa Riverwalk
- Croc Encounters
- Ballast Point Park
- Serengeti Safari

Our Personal Injury Law Firm’s Primary Practice Areas
Our breadth of knowledge and more than 50+ years of combined legal experience allows us to handle a wide range of injury cases.
We routinely help victims injured in:
Car Accidents
Hillsborough County is growing – it’s expected to reach 1.6 million people by 2025. Bay Crest Park neighborhood is expected to grow by 5.8% by 2025. With growth comes more traffic and, unfortunately, more crashes.
Car accidents in Hillsborough County were up 16% in 2021 (27,988 crashes in 2021, up from 24,168 in 2020). Our team of attorneys takes the stress and worry out of the aftermath of a vehicle accident so that you can take the time you need to recover. Contact a car accident attorney.
Construction Accidents
Fatal accidents are higher in construction than in any other industry. Roughly 87,000 people work in the construction industry in Tampa. Defective machinery, improper training, and failure to follow safety measures are some factors that result in deadly falls and other catastrophic injuries for construction workers.
Motorcycle Accidents
The Tampa Bay area is ideal for riding motorcycles. Whether you are on vacation, a weekend rider, or commuting, there are risks that come with the fun and freedom of riding a motorcycle. There were 23 motorcycle crashes and two fatalities within the first month of 2022 in Hillsborough County. Let us help you recover the compensation you’re owed.
Slip & Fall Accidents
An injury from a slip and fall accident can leave you out of commission for months. Falls are the leading cause of injuries among older adults in Florida. Whether you fell at the grocery store or took a tumble from a rickety handrail, you should not have to pay for injuries sustained in a preventable fall.
Truck Accidents
Accidents involving semi-trucks are some of the most devastating ones that we see. The massive size differences between trucks and passenger vehicles cause unique hazards. Commercial trucks are difficult to maneuver and take much longer to stop than passenger vehicles.
We can hold the truck driver and trucking company accountable when a truck collides with your vehicle.
Wrongful Death
The death rate from accidents is a startling 12% higher in Florida than anywhere else in the U.S. Accidental injuries are the leading cause of death of Floridians between the ages of one and 44.
We know no amount of money can bring back your loved one, but compensation can help ease the financial worries that you are dealing with after the loss of a family member. Let us help you with your wrongful death claim.
What Damages Are Available in Bay Crest Park Personal Injury Cases?
We seek economic and non-economic damages for most of our clients. Economic damages are monetary losses incurred as a result of your accident. Non-economic damages are typically thought of as pain and suffering and cover less tangible losses associated with your quality of life.
Your compensatory damages may include money for:
- Medical expenses
- Physical therapy
- Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
- Property damages
- Physical pain
- Disability
- In-home nursing care
- Anxiety, depression, or PTSD
In rare cases, punitive damages could be available. Punitive damages don’t compensate you for your losses. Instead, they are awarded in cases where the defendant’s conduct was so outrageous that the judge or jury thinks the punishment is warranted.
How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit or Injury Claim After an Accident?
You’ll have limited time to preserve your right to seek compensation after an accident. It’s now two years for most injury and wrongful death claims. Historically, the state gave victims four years to file. However, on March 24, 2023, the deadline was shortened to two years – meaning accidents happening after that date are subject to the two-year limit.
This may seem like a long time. But when you are spending time going back and forth to doctor visits and trying to get your life back together, time goes faster than you think.
Workers’ compensation claims have shorter deadlines and specific requirements, as do certain other claims.
It’s best to call our Bay Crest Park law firm as soon as possible after your accident. If you miss the deadline to file your lawsuit, you won’t have a chance to get any compensation.
What Does It Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer in Hillsborough?
Most attorneys (including us) work on a contingency fee basis, which means that:
- The lawyer only collects a fee if they are able to obtain a financial award for you through a settlement or trial; and
- The attorney’s fee is a percentage of your financial award (typically up to 40% of the total award)
Because the fee is based on the amount of damages you are awarded, the cost will vary in every case.
