Pinellas County · Tampa Bay
Injured in an Accident in Clearwater?
Clearwater Beach is one of the most visited stretches of coastline in Florida, and that popularity shows up directly in the traffic on Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard and the Memorial Causeway — especially on weekends, holidays and during snowbird season, when out-of-town drivers unfamiliar with the area share the road with beachgoers on foot.
Away from the beach, US 19 is a heavily travelled corridor that state and local safety data have long identified as one of the more dangerous roads in Pinellas County, with high speeds and heavy signal-controlled cross traffic. If you were hurt in a Clearwater-area accident, Swift Attorney can help you understand your options — at no cost, any time.
Available 24/7. Free to contact. No pressure, no obligation.
“I was hit by an uninsured driver and was terrified about covering medical bills. They found me a doctor same day and an attorney who handled everything. Zero out of pocket.”

Local Context
Common Accident Situations in Clearwater
Beach-traffic congestion on Gulf-to-Bay & the Causeway
Weekend and seasonal tourist traffic heading to and from Clearwater Beach creates heavy stop-and-go congestion, a frequent setting for rear-end collisions.
US 19 high-speed arterial crashes
Fast-moving multi-lane traffic combined with frequent signaled intersections along US 19 has long made it one of the more crash-prone corridors in the county.
Drawbridge-related stop-and-go traffic
The Memorial Causeway drawbridge periodically halts traffic, and the sudden stop-and-go conditions that follow can catch inattentive drivers off guard.
Pedestrian incidents near the beach
Large numbers of pedestrians crossing Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard and beachfront streets, particularly during peak tourist periods, increase pedestrian-accident risk.
