A catastrophic accident can disrupt your physical health, emotional stability, and financial security in an instant. Founded in 1975, Howell and Thornhill has served as a trusted legal pillar for accident victims throughout Central Florida for over five decades. Located at 2115 South Florida Avenue in Lakeland, the firm's dedicated legal team fights tirelessly to hold careless individuals, negligent corporations, and insurance companies accountable. Led by Florida Bar Board Certified Civil Trial attorney Robert Tri Thornhill III, the practice ensures that injured individuals receive face-to-face counsel from experienced trial lawyers rather than impersonal case managers.

Proven Trial Representation for Motor Vehicle Collisions

Florida roadways such as Interstate 4, the Polk Parkway, US Highway 98, and Florida Avenue witness frequent crashes caused by speeding, distraction, and impaired driving. As experienced car accident lawyers and truck accident lawyers, Howell and Thornhill conducts exhaustive accident investigations to recover maximum compensation for medical bills, rehabilitation expenses, and lost wages.

• Commercial Truck Collisions: Investigating semi-truck wrecks, driver log violations, and corporate safety failures to secure justice from trucking carriers.
• Motorcycle Crash Injuries: Advocating as assertive motorcycle accident lawyers to protect riders against insurer bias and recover damages for catastrophic injuries.
• Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents: Representing vulnerable pedestrians and cyclists as dedicated pedestrian injury lawyers and bicycle injury lawyers struck by inattentive drivers.
• DUI Accident Litigation: Pursuing punitive damages against intoxicated motorists who cause devastating crashes across Central Florida roads.
• On-Site Crash Reconstruction: Utilizing an in-house certified accident reconstruction specialist to preserve black-box data and physical evidence immediately.

Catastrophic Injuries, Medical Malpractice, and Wrongful Death Claims

Beyond roadway collisions, Howell and Thornhill handles complex negligence cases demanding sophisticated medical knowledge and aggressive litigation. As committed slip and fall injury lawyers, medical malpractice lawyers, and dog bite injury lawyers, the firm prosecutes property owners, healthcare providers, and negligent parties who breach basic safety standards.

When negligence leads to fatal outcomes, the firm serves as compassionate wrongful death lawyers, assisting grieving families through Florida wrongful death actions to secure financial stability and closure. With board-certified trial attorneys on staff, a distinction achieved by less than two percent of Florida lawyers, the firm possesses the trial stamina needed to win against aggressive defense firms.

Zero Out-of-Pocket Costs with Contingency Fee Representation

Navigating medical care and lost income after an accident is demanding enough without legal bills. Howell and Thornhill operates on a strict contingency fee model: clients pay no upfront legal fees or out-of-pocket litigation costs, and the firm collects attorney fees only if financial compensation is successfully obtained through a negotiated settlement or courtroom verdict.
