Bill Gower spent his first decade as an insurance defense attorney, taking over complex cases from other insurance defense lawyers and learning from the inside exactly how insurance companies build their strategy against injury claimants. He then brought that knowledge to the plaintiff side when he co-founded Alvarez Gower Injury Law in 2022 with Joe Alvarez, who has over 10 years of representing injured Floridians from inception through trial. The firm is based in Tampa, Florida and can be reached at (813) 212-7919 or (863) 276-6196.
Introduction
Alvarez Gower Injury Law was founded in 2022 with a specific structural advantage: one partner who has spent more than a decade fighting for injured plaintiffs, and another who spent his first decade defending insurance companies against those same claims. That combination of plaintiff-side and defense-side experience is uncommon in personal injury law and produces a firm that understands both how to build a case and how opposing insurers will try to defeat it.
Florida sees more than 1,000 car accidents every day. The volume of injury claims in the state is enormous, and the insurance industry has refined its response to those claims over decades. Alvarez Gower was built specifically to counter those tactics with the inside knowledge that Bill Gower accumulated during his defense work, applied now to maximizing recovery for injured Floridians.
The firm handles cases from inception to trial. Joe Alvarez moves cases through every stage of the litigation process, from initial intake and evidence gathering through discovery, negotiation, and courtroom trial if that is what achieving a fair result requires. The firm has litigated hundreds of cases ranging from low-limit auto accident matters to multimillion-dollar claims, giving it experience across the full spectrum of injury litigation complexity.
Alvarez Gower operates on a contingency fee basis with free consultations, offers 24/7 availability and live chat support, and treats clients with the direct, personalized attention the firm describes as treating clients like neighbors.
Practice Areas
Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Accidents
Alvarez Gower handles vehicle accident cases of every type, including distracted driving accidents. Florida car accident volume is among the highest in the country, and the firm is built to handle the full range of claims that result, from straightforward liability cases to complex commercial truck accident matters.
Slip and Fall and Trip and Fall
Premises liability claims require establishing both that a hazardous condition existed and that the property owner had knowledge of it. The firm handles slip and fall and trip and fall cases with the detail required to establish that two-part standard.
Wrongful Death
When negligence results in a fatality, Alvarez Gower represents the families of those lost. Wrongful death claims require careful calculation of economic and non-economic losses, including the financial support and companionship the deceased would have provided.
Dog Bites and Traumatic Brain Injuries
The firm handles dog bite claims and traumatic brain injury cases, two practice areas that require distinct expert preparation. Brain injury cases in particular demand expert neurological and neuropsychological testimony to establish the full scope of cognitive and functional damage.
Sexual Abuse Cases and Negligent Security
Alvarez Gower represents survivors of sexual abuse and clients harmed by negligent security failures. Negligent security cases hold property owners accountable when their failure to maintain adequate security enables criminal harm to occur on their premises.
