Southwest Florida Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

David Hughes Harris is a trial lawyer dedicated to excellence in advocacy on behalf of his clients.  He has been in active practice since 1995, and throughout his career has put his clients first, successfully representing those who needed a strong voice and aggressive attorney fighting for them when those clients were at their weakest and most vulnerable.

David is proud to have represented clients in the thousands, including those who have suffered serious injuries, catastrophic injury, and the families who have suffered the loss of their loved ones.

David’s depth of experience in representing the injured and their families extends from fighting for injured persons who have suffered serious personal injury, e.g. brain injury, spinal cord injury, paralysis, herniated discs, broken bones, major trauma, etc., and other serious injuries and conditions, to representing family members who lost their beloved child, brother, sister, mom, or dad, to wrongful death.

From car accidents, trucking accidents, motorcycle accidents, atv accidents, and slip and falls, to medical malpractice, product defect claims, to construction accidents, David Harris has been involved in some of the most challenging types of personal injury cases out there.

David launched the Harris Law Firm PA to bring his passion, principles, and advocacy for his clients to the next level.  “Putting clients first” is not some slogan:  it’s a fundamental approach to representing injured persons.  It means, for example:

• being available and accessible to clients
• open and honest about the case from beginning to end
• seeking client input
• answering questions
• promptly returning phone calls
• not taking a fee which is more than the client receives as compensation
