February 22, 2022
Eric Neiberger handles complex and catastrophic claims involving uninsured motorists, automobile and trucking accidents; environmental property damage; premises liability and other general liability claims.
Eric defends trucking companies in lawsuits ranging from straightforward to catastrophic personal injury losses or wrongful death cases and cargo losses. He serves on the 24/7 emergency response team for Wilson Elser clients, providing 24-hour, on-site client assistance in mobilizing experts, investigators and client control immediately after catastrophic events.
A former Federal Civil Rights Litigator with the Florida Office of the Attorney General, Eric spent the first five years of his career defending law enforcement officers in state and federal trial and appellate courts throughout the State of Florida. He also served as the Deputy State Ombudsman for the Florida Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program for a year and a half prior to entering private practice.
Away from the day-to-day practice of law, Eric is extremely interested in legal and civic management and leadership, frequently volunteering his time to charity, and has served on numerous boards and organizations in various leadership capacities.
