    When Life Throws You a Curveball, We Are Here to Help You Get Back on Track

    Even if you do everything right, a life-changing accident is always an unfortunate possibility. It could be a car crash on the Dale Mabry Highway, a slip and fall at a local business, or a devastating workplace injury. Whatever the cause, a serious injury can turn your life upside down, leaving you dealing with pain, mounting medical bills, lost income, and the stress of an uncertain future.

    If you are reeling from an injury caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing, you deserve justice and fair compensation. However, navigating the legal system and dealing with insurance companies by yourself can be overwhelming, especially when you are trying to recover from an injury.

    That is where Michles & Booth comes in. We are not just lawyers — we are advocates for injured people in Tampa and throughout Northwest Florida. We are your trusted guides, fighting for your rights and helping you get back on your feet.
