Car Accidents in Starke & Bradford County
Local knowledge that matters when your case is filed in Bradford County.
Where Crashes Happen
Car crashes around Starke tend to happen along US‑301 and the US‑301 bypass. Local reporting found the bypass accounted for nearly one in five Bradford County crashes between 2019 and 2024, with most at the south end where it rejoins US‑301. SR‑16 toward Camp Blanding and SR‑100 toward Keystone Heights add heavy commuter and truck traffic.
Where You’ll Be Treated
Starke no longer has an inpatient hospital. HCA Florida Starke Emergency on E Call Street is a freestanding ER, but people with serious injuries are typically transported to UF Health Shands Hospital, the region’s Level I trauma center, or HCA Florida North Florida Hospital in Gainesville. We work directly with the billing departments, ER physicians, and lien holders at the hospitals where Bradford County crash victims are treated.
Where Your Case Will Be Heard
Because Starke is in Bradford County, these cases are filed at the Bradford County Courthouse, part of the Eighth Judicial Circuit, at 945 N Temple Avenue in Starke. Our Gainesville office handles cases throughout the Eighth Circuit, and we travel to Starke whenever your case requires it.
Serving Starke Car Accident Victims
Our office is in downtown Gainesville, about 30 miles south of Starke by way of US‑301 and SR‑24. We represent injury victims and families throughout Starke, Bradford County, and across North Central Florida.
