Marsalisi Law works on a contingency fee basis for personal injury and auto accident cases. This means you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. Your initial consultation is always free, with no upfront costs. We believe everyone deserves access to quality legal representation regardless of their financial situation.
We focus exclusively on traffic-related personal injury cases, including:
With over 17 years of experience, Frank P. Marsalisi has recovered millions of dollars for injured victims in St. Petersburg and throughout Pinellas County.
Florida law generally allows two years from the date of an accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, the sooner you contact us, the better. Evidence can be lost, witnesses’ memories fade, and insurance companies may try to minimize your claim. Early representation helps us protect your rights and strengthen your case.
At Marsalisi Law, your consultation is always with attorney Frank P. Marsalisi—not a case manager or paralegal. We’ll review your accident details, assess your injuries, explain your legal options, and answer all of your questions. There’s no obligation, and the consultation is completely confidential. This consultation helps us determine if we can help you recover the monetary compensation you deserve.
If you’ve been seriously injured in a traffic accident or have an urgent legal matter that cannot wait, call us immediately at (727) 800-5052. We understand that accidents and injuries don’t happen on a convenient schedule. While we maintain regular business hours, we’re available 24/7 for our clients’ emergency needs. If you’re calling after hours, leave a detailed message explaining your urgent situation, and we’ll respond as quickly as possible to ensure you receive the immediate legal guidance you need.
Not always. Most cases settle out of court through negotiations with the insurance company. However, if the insurer refuses to make a fair offer, we are fully prepared to fight for you in court.
Compensation may include medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and future medical care. Every case is different, so we provide a personalized evaluation during your consultation.
If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, you may still recover compensation through your uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. We will carefully review your policy to identify all available sources of recovery.
The timeline depends on the complexity of your injuries and negotiations with the insurance company. Some cases settle within months, while others may take a year or more. Our priority is securing the maximum compensation, not rushing to a quick settlement
Hiring a local attorney matters. We know the local courts, judges, medical providers, and insurance adjusters in Pinellas County and the Tampa Bay area. This knowledge gives us an advantage in navigating your case and securing the best possible result.

No. Under Florida law, insurance companies cannot raise your rates for using PIP benefits if you were not at fault in the accident.
In Florida, riders over 21 may legally ride without a helmet if they have the required insurance. If you weren’t wearing a helmet, you can still file a claim, but the insurance company may argue your injuries were worse because of it. An attorney can help protect your right to full compensation.
It’s best to speak with a lawyer first. Insurance adjusters work for the insurance company, not you, and may use your statements against you. We handle communications to protect your claim.
Yes, but you must meet Florida’s permanent injury threshold to pursue pain and suffering damages in auto accident cases. This can be determined by your treating physicians
Bring any accident reports, medical records, insurance information, photos of the accident or injuries, and contact details of witnesses. The more information you provide, the better we can evaluate your case.
Immediately. Calling an attorney right away ensures your rights are protected and evidence is preserved.
Under Florida’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) law, you must seek initial medical treatment within 14 days of the accident to qualify for PIP benefits. However, we do not recommend you wait this long to get checked out by a physician. Even if you feel fine, some injuries don’t show symptoms right away. Prompt medical care protects both your health and your right to compensation.
Yes. If a loved one was killed in a motor vehicle accident, we can pursue a wrongful death claim on behalf of the family to recover damages such as funeral expenses, loss of support, and emotional suffering.
