David Hammer focuses his practice on wrongful death and catastrophic injury cases involving product defects, auto crashes, premises liability, and trucking accidents. With over 25 years of experience in personal injury law, Mr. Hammer has handled more than 3,000 cases, guiding clients through every stage of litigation.
His track record spans some of the most devastating injuries a family can face. He won a multimillion-dollar verdict for a quadriplegic client injured in a phantom vehicle rollover crash, and multimillion-dollar settlements for an infant who suffered a brain injury in an automobile crash and a motorcycle rider left with permanent brain damage. He has also taken on institutional defendants directly, recovering a confidential settlement against a worldwide corporation for a slip-and-fall that caused severe spinal injuries, and another against a school board and teacher for the abuse of special needs children. In one case, he pursued multiple defendants over construction defects and the improper maintenance of a handicapped shower seat that left an already disabled client with serious, permanent injuries.
Mr. Hammer was born in New York and raised in Florida, and is University of Florida alumnus and devoted Gators fan. He spends much of his free time outdoors, golfing, skiing, and hiking whenever he gets the chance. Family time matters just as much to him, and travel gives him a way to combine the two: he and his family make a point of exploring new places together whenever they can.
