Tampa, Florida • Since 1979
For over 45 years, Swope, Rodante P.A. has been Tampa's premier personal injury and insurance bad faith law firm — fighting for the underdog against insurance companies and large corporations.
About the Firm
Swope, Rodante P.A. is a civil trial litigation firm that sues insurance companies and other large corporations when their negligence, deceit, or bad faith has caused harm to real people.
We deliberately limit our practice to catastrophic injury claims and insurance bad faith. This focus means our attorneys have developed deep, specialized expertise that gets results — results that other firms cannot achieve.
We operate on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing unless we win your case. Our mission is to empower you to rebuild your life by securing the resources you need for the highest possible quality of life, despite your injuries.
Learn More About Our FirmWhat We Do
We focus exclusively on catastrophic injury and insurance bad faith cases — the most complex and high-stakes litigation in Florida civil law.
When insurance companies refuse to honor their obligations, we hold them accountable. We specialize in both first-party and third-party bad faith claims.
Doctors and hospitals must be held to the highest standard of care. We fight for victims of medical negligence to get the compensation they deserve.
Catastrophic crashes demand aggressive representation. We pursue maximum compensation for serious injuries caused by negligent drivers and trucking companies.
Defective products cause devastating injuries. We take on manufacturers and distributors who put profits before people's safety.
When negligence takes a life, families deserve justice. We pursue wrongful death claims with compassion and fierce dedication.
We hold perpetrators and institutions accountable for the abuse of children and sexual assault survivors through civil litigation.
