Brandon Personal Injury Lawyer

Aggressive for you. Personal with you.
A serious injury changes everything at once. One moment you are going about your day in Brandon; the next you are hurt, the medical bills are stacking up, and an insurance company is already deciding how little your claim is worth. You do not have to carry that alone. Merricks Law Group fights for injured people across Brandon and Hillsborough County, aggressive with the insurers and personal with you every step of the way.
We see you as more than a case number
Insurance companies handle claims by the thousands. To them you are a file to close cheaply. To us you are a person whose life was disrupted by someone else’s carelessness, and who deserves to be made whole. Every case gets real attention from experienced attorneys, not a call-center runaround. We are big enough to take on the largest insurers and small enough to genuinely care how your recovery is going.
Injury cases we handle for Brandon
Busy Brandon corridors like I-75 and SR-60 see frequent collisions, and unsafe properties across the area cause serious falls, but our practice covers the full range of personal injury claims:
Vehicle accidents: car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian, rideshare, and more
Slip, trip and fall on unsafe property
Medical malpractice, product liability, dog bites, work injuries, and wrongful death
One thing to know early: in Florida, [you generally have two years from the date of an injury to file a negligence lawsuit → https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2024/0095.11], so it pays to act promptly. If you are not sure whether you have a case, that is exactly what a free consultation is for.
