Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Lakeland & Polk County

Polk County's road network — including I-4, the Polk Parkway (SR 570), US 98, and US 92 — carries heavy commuter and freight traffic between Tampa and Orlando, and that volume comes with a steady pattern of serious accidents. When those accidents are caused by another driver's or property owner's negligence, Florida law gives injured victims the right to pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.


We represent Lakeland-area clients in a range of personal injury situations:

  • Car accidents on I-4, the Polk Parkway, and US 98/US 92 involving distracted driving, speeding, or failure to yield
  • Truck and commercial vehicle accidents along Polk County's freight corridors
  • Slip and fall and premises liability injuries at businesses and properties throughout Lakeland and Polk County
  • Motorcycle and bicycle accidents on Polk 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.

Questions from Lakeland & Polk County Clients

  • Who is a good personal injury attorney for Lakeland, Florida?

    Look for an attorney who will personally handle your case rather than assigning it to whoever's available. Anna Katherine Stone has represented injured Florida residents for more than 20 years and handles Polk County cases directly. Consultations are free.

  • Do I have to travel to Tampa to work with your firm?

    No. Most case communication happens by phone and email, so Polk County clients don't need to make repeated trips to Tampa. We can arrange in-person meetings when your case calls for it.

  • What do I do after a car accident in Lakeland or on I-4?

    Seek medical attention right away, even if you feel fine — some injuries don't show symptoms for days. Document the scene with photos, get the other driver's information and any witness contacts, and avoid giving a recorded statement to an insurance adjuster before speaking with an attorney. Then contact us for a free review of your situation.

  • How much does a personal injury lawyer cost in Polk County?

    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 Polk County?

    Yes. Florida workers' compensation law covers most employees injured while performing job duties, statewide, including Lakeland and Polk County.
