Tampa Personal Injury Attorney Christopher Ligori

Mr. Ligori has been practicing law since 1994 and is one of the few attorneys in Florida to have tried over 100 jury trials to verdict.  He prides himself on aggressively litigating and pursuing his clients’ claims, as well as treating all clients and their cases, regardless of the size of the case, with the same respect and diligence.

Mr. Ligori has routinely given lectures upon request to other lawyers across the State of Florida and in other states about a variety of legal issues.  He considers it one of the highest honors an attorney can receive to be asked by his peers to speak before colleagues and help educate others about legal issues and strategy.

Mr. Ligori has been fighting for the rights of victims his entire legal career and handled thousands of cases.  Many of the cases have involved catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, herniated discs, RSD,  injuries to the knee, shoulder or wrist, and other injuries.

Mr. Ligori also has achieved numerous verdicts, judgments and settlements well above the defendant’s policy limits.  For one case he handled, the insurance company paid $5 million to his client when the defendant’s policy limits were only $10,000.  Additionally, he has handled many other cases resolved for 70 to 80 times the policy limits of the defendant.

Currently, Mr. Ligori handles cases that arise out of auto accidents, motorcycle accidents, premises liability, slip or trip and falls, negligent security, products liability and mass torts.

Mr. Ligori is a Tampa native who graduated from the University of Florida in 1990 with a degree in Political Science and a specialization in the Spanish language. He also attended the prestigious University of Salamanca in Salamanca, Spain in order to further his education in Spanish literature and art. He graduated from Nova Southeastern University Law School in 1994, where he served as an officer for several student organizations and was actively involved at law school.

After passing the Florida Bar, he then joined the Office of the State Attorney for the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit in Hillsborough County as an assistant state attorney.  Mr. Ligori was promoted to the position of lead trial attorney in the felony trial division and tried numerous high profile and complicated cases including DUI manslaughter, attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, armed robbery, aggravated assault and aggravated battery.

Mr. Ligori left the state attorney’s office, joined an insurance defense firm and later started his own law firm which solely represents victims of accidents.  He has built a solid reputation as a fierce advocate for his clients through litigation, trial and negotiated settlements, and consistently shown his ability to achieve results both in and out of the courtroom. Mr. Ligori consciously attacks each case with trial in mind from the start in an effort to maximize results for his client.

He is married with two children and active in numerous community organizations and charities.
