The History of the Hyde Park Neighborhood of Tampa
The Hyde Park neighborhood was established in the 1880s. As railroad access was being expanded across Florida, Henry Plant built the first bridge across the Hillsborough River at Kennedy Boulevard, which is the northern boundary of Hyde Park. A streetcar line was installed in the area, generating rapid growth over the following years.
Today, Hyde Park is comprised of various segments, including SoHo (South Howard Avenue) and Hyde Park Village. SoHo is one of Tampa’s premier entertainment districts, offering fine dining, bars, nightclubs, and boutiques. Hyde Park Village is a “lifestyle center” that offers dining, shopping, and fitness options.
Construction has started to expand Hyde Park, including an expansion of Hyde Park Village and the construction of new multifamily residences.
Currently, Hyde Park is home to many historic homes and bungalows – and is popular because of its prime entertainment options, walkability, and proximity to both downtown Tampa and the University of Tampa.

- Broken bones

- Whiplash
- Brain injuries
- Catastrophic injuries
- Wrongful death of a loved one
- And more
You shouldn’t have to suffer the financial consequences if you or a loved one were injured because someone else was careless. Let our lawyers take the lead. Give us a quick call to schedule a free case review and learn more about an attorney-client relationship.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents
Hyde Park residents feel safe walking and biking around the neighborhood. Unfortunately, bicyclists and pedestrians are vulnerable to severe, life-altering injuries when they’re involved in a traffic accident. Our lawyers will carefully investigate your accident to determine who was responsible and fight to win the maximum compensation you deserve.
Construction Accidents
The construction industry in Hyde Park is booming. It’s hard to miss the large cranes and scaffolding surrounding the Hyde Park House development on Bayshore.
Construction sites aren’t always safe. When workers are injured on the job, they may have more than one option for recovering compensation. Our lawyers can help you seek fair workers’ compensation benefits and determine whether you’re eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit against a negligent third party.
Medical Malpractice
You trust your healthcare providers to protect your health. Sadly, medical errors are much more common than many people realize. If you were harmed because of medical negligence or nursing home abuse, our lawyers can help. We’ll find out what happened and bring in the respected medical experts you need to support your case.

- Motorcycle accidents

Proving Liability in a Hyde Park Personal Injury Case
Whether you were injured in a slip and fall, car accident, or otherwise, you’ll have to offer the insurance company proof before they agree to settle your case. The stronger your negligence claim, the more compensation you’re likely to recover.
All negligence claims are based on four elements, including:
- The responsible party’s legal duty of care
- A breach of duty
- Causation
- The damages you sustained
Our lawyers will dig deep to find evidence to support your case. Video footage, photos of the accident scene, and eyewitness statements can all be valuable.
While we’re doing that, you can expect the insurance company to look for evidence to discredit your claim. They might even try to blame you for causing your own injuries. We can protect you from these and other scare tactics. To learn more, call our personal injury lawyers serving the Hyde Park zip code for a free case evaluation today.
Statute of Limitations in Florida Personal Injury Cases
Under Florida state law, the statute of limitations gives most personal injury victims four years to take legal action. If you fail to file a lawsuit before the four-year deadline passes, you lose your right to seek compensation.
Damages Available in Hyde Park Personal Injury Cases
