Eric D. Bruce

Eric D. Bruce focuses his practice on all kinds of personal injury cases, including auto accidents, motorcycle accidents, premises liability, medical malpractice and wrongful death. He obtained his undergraduate degree in accounting from FAU in 1989 and his JD from the University of Miami School of Law in 1992. He was admitted to the Florida Bar that same year.

His law career has been defined by his strong belief in the power of preparation and hard work. With these bedrock principles, he strives to bring about the best possible outcome for you, the client, whether by means of a negotiated resolution or taking the case to trial. He works closely with you, the client, throughout all aspects of your case. This starts from the initial consultation, presuit negotiations with insurance companies, and ultimately throughout the litigation process if that is necessary to obtain a fair and just resolution of your case.

His substantial litigation experience and high ethical and professional standards has culminated in his becoming Board Certified in Civil Trial by the Florida Bar.

On the professional level, he served on the Board of the Manatee County Bar Association for several years, culminating with being President of the Association in 2009-2010. He has also served on committees with both the Florida Bar and the Florida Justice Association. Most recently he completed a 3-year term on the 12th Judicial Circuit Grievance Committee.

When he is not in the office working on your case, you are likely to find him at F45 or at a Bradenton Marauders baseball game.
