About

Matthew Erjavec is an experienced Florida personal injury lawyer dedicated to helping those who have been inured as a result of a car accident, motorcycle accident, trucking accident, slip and fall, medical device, or defective product.  After graduating from the University of Pittsbugh School of Law, Matt went to work for a well-known personal injury law firm in Tampa, Florida.  While there, he honed his craft as a personal injury attorney by successfully handling thousands of cases throughout the state of Florida.  It was also during this time that Matt developed a thorough understanding of the complexities of attorney-client interaction and the added benefits of consistent client communication and attention.        In 2010, Matt founded Matthew Erjavec, P.A. with the goal of providing Florida personal injury victims with the knowledge and resources of a large firm while maintaining the focus and accessibility of a solo practitioner.  To date, this approach has proven true, as Matt has obtained millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for his clients and has built a thriving law practice built entirely on the referrals of former clients and fellow attorneys.

I hired Matt almost three years ago when I was hit on my motorcycle by a careless driver. I spent the next two years going through ten surgeries and going from wheel chair to crutch to cane. I was at a place in my life I couldn't care for myself and I needed a lot of medical attention. Matt handled all my needs and was a real person when I needed someone to talk to. He went above and beyond the job. He came to the hospital , to my home and set up dr visits for me when I couldn't do it myself. My life was taken away from me and for a long time I wondered if I'd ever get it back. I watched myself transform from a successful young man into a destroyed handicap person. Matt assured me it would be alright and fought for me when the insurance tried to give me as little as possible . I had so many surgeries I watched my life I once knew turn into a new life of complete misery. I couldn't imagine what it would of been like in my condition had I hired another attorney. I felt like Matt was trustworthy and honest with me through the legal battle and in the end my expectations were met. Mind you a legal proceeding is not an overnight journey, it takes time and who you hire is a BIG DEAL! It took years of hell and patience but Matt never pressured me to sell myself short or settle for his benefit. Through the entire legal procedure he looked out for my best interest. I was a very needy client and my injuries are very serious. Had I not hired Matt I doubt I'd of gotten the personal attention from an attorney or the settlement I received. I am very grateful to Matt Erjavec ! Matt if you're reading this thank you for watching over me through the legal proceedings and getting me an unbelievable settlement. I will never forget your service! You're a one of a kind attorney and people would be crazy not to hire you.

Last fall I was in a serious car accident and needed a personal injury attorney. Although I am an attorney, I don't practice personal injury, so I reached out to my fellow lawyers to get a referral. A trusted friend recommended Matt and we arranged to meet to discuss my case. I instantly found Matt to be straightforward and very honest. He laid out the pluses and minuses of my case along with his plan of attack. I felt he was very knowledgeable and signed a retainer with him that day. He immediately got to work on my case and made a point to keep me updated on the progress. He was always available by phone or email and I was never left wondering where my case stood. He did an exceptional job and got me a very fair settlement in only a few months. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who is facing a personal injury matter. He made a difficult situation much easier.

I was involved in a car accident. We were constantly getting calls and letters from the other person's insurance company as well as from Medicare. We tried to handle these as they came, however, I was in no condition to handle phone calls or paperwork for most of the following year. We talked to several attorneys but could not get anyone to agree to handle it. My husband found Matt on AVVO and Matt agreed to talk to us. When we arrived, Matt was compassionate and immediately offered to take our case. It was not long after that surgery was needed. Matt handled everything. We are very thankful for the amount of the settlement that we received. We both are extremely pleased with Matt and his handling of our case. We highly recommend him!

My car had gotten flooded back in August 2016, brand new Toyota Camry, the adjuster had said it was a total loss and that everything should be solve within the next couple weeks. Unfortunately, it didn't go as smooth, and the insurance denied my claim. Despite the calls, letters, and emails to attempt to get in contact with them, nothing was being solved. I really felt like there was no one there to help me, I felt trapped and discouraged. After many months of looking for an attorney that could help my situation, where not one person was willing to help me, I found Mr. Matthew Erjavec. I cannot describe to you how much of a relief was when he said to me "I'll be able to help you". I was in such disbelieve when I had finally found someone that could help. Mr. Erjavec was very professional and straight forward, saying to me that this type of cases were hard. However, he didn't back down and did what he could to take care of my situation. Sure enough within a couple days, Mr. Erjavec sent a letter to my insurance and all of a sudden they replied, finally! After many attempts of me trying to reach out , yes it only took one letter. Mr. Erjavec is truly passionate about his job and he's really focused on the well being of others, unlike the other seven attorneys I spoke with and only care about the money. I am very thankful and will forever keep a good relationship with Mr. Erjavec. I am referring everybody I know to him because of the experience I've had myself, his law firm is like no other !

Mr. Erjavec represented me last year after I was injured in a motorcycle accident. Mr. Erjavec and his staff were on top of every aspect of my case and made sure I always knew what was going on. They also took time to answer all of my questions and always made me feel like my case was very important to them. Matt delivered great results for me and I cannot than him enough. I would recommend Matthew Erjavec, P.A. to anybody in need of a personal injury lawyer.

Matt was referred to me by a friend of mine after I was injured in a car accident. As soon as I hired him I could tell I was in good hands. Matt took the time to explain everything to me and also helped me find a doctor close by. By the time my case was done, I was feeling much better and could not believe how much Matt got the insurance company to pay. Anybody that needs a personal injury lawyer should call Matt now!!!

My husband and I were injured in a car accident last November. Erjavec Law was recommended to us and we found them to be a trustworthy law firm. They were responsive and on top of things which allowed us to focus on our recovery. Our correspondence was with the actual attorney instead of a case manager- this stood out to us and was not the case in our previous experience with a law firm. We received compensation that exceeded our expectations and are thankful for the recommendation.
