The Pinellas County Courthouse Is in Clearwater. So Is Our Attention to Your Case.

Personal Injury Lawyer Serving Clearwater & Pinellas County, FL

Clearwater is the seat of Pinellas County — the Pinellas County Justice Center, where most county civil and criminal matters are actually heard, sits right here, not in Tampa. That matters for your case: local procedure, local judges, and a beach-tourism economy that brings its own mix of accidents, from causeway traffic to hotel and hospitality injuries. Attorney Anna Katherine Stone has represented injured Florida residents for more than 20 years and handles Clearwater cases with that local context in mind, not as an afterthought to a Tampa caseload.

What We Handle for Clearwater Residents

Here When You Need Help

A county seat with a beach-tourism economy produces a different mix of cases than a purely residential city — seasonal population swings, causeway commuter traffic, and a large hospitality workforce, alongside the usual range of injury and disability claims. Here's where we can help.

What an Injury Case Looks Like in Clearwater

Clearwater's population swells seasonally with visitors heading to Clearwater Beach, and that tourist traffic mixes with year-round commuters using US 19 and the Courtney Campbell Causeway to reach Tampa across Old Tampa Bay. The result is a wider mix of accident types than a typical residential suburb sees: causeway and highway crashes, hotel and rental-property premises liability claims, and injuries tied to the area's large hospitality and service workforce.

We represent Clearwater-area clients across that range:


  • Car accidents on US 19, the Courtney Campbell Causeway, and the Memorial Causeway
  • Slip and fall and premises liability injuries at hotels, resorts, and rental properties serving Clearwater's tourist traffic
  • Workplace injuries among hospitality, service, and tourism-industry workers
  • Motorcycle and bicycle accidents on Pinellas County roads
  • Workplace injuries that fall outside the workers' compensation system, including third-party liability claims


If you're not sure whether your situation qualifies as a personal injury claim, that's exactly what a free consultation is for. We'll tell you where you stand.

St. Petersburg Personal Injury Questions, Answered

  • I was hurt in a hotel or resort in Clearwater. Is that different from a typical injury claim?

    In practice, yes. Hotel and resort premises liability cases often involve commercial insurance policies, management companies, and sometimes separate ownership groups, which adds layers a standard homeowner claim doesn't have. We review those layers before deciding who the claim needs to be brought against.

  • I work in hospitality or tourism in Clearwater and was hurt on the job. Does that change anything?

    The underlying Florida workers' comp rules are the same regardless of industry, but seasonal and tipped-wage jobs can complicate how your average weekly wage — and therefore your benefit amount — gets calculated. That's worth having reviewed rather than accepting the carrier's number at face value.

  • Does my case get heard locally, or does it go to Tampa?

    Clearwater is the seat of Pinellas County, so most Pinellas County civil and criminal matters are heard at the Pinellas County Justice Center right here, not in Tampa.

  • How much does a personal injury lawyer cost in Clearwater?

    We work on a contingency fee basis — no upfront cost, and no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. Your initial consultation is also free.

  • Can I file a workers' comp claim if I was hurt at work in Clearwater?

    Yes. Florida workers' compensation law covers most employees injured while performing job duties, statewide, including Clearwater and the rest of Pinellas County.
