About Eric
Eric Block built his foundation at the University of Florida, where he completed a Bachelor of Arts in 1980 and earned his J.D. in 1985. He entered the legal profession after law school and established a practice in Florida. His education at a single institution gave him continuity during his formative years as a lawyer.
He has spent his career working in personal injury law. He is part of The Personal Injury Team, handling cases that range from automobile collisions to workplace injuries. His work involves client intake, investigation, negotiation and courtroom advocacy when cases proceed to trial. He represents individuals rather than corporations, focusing on the consequences of injury on everyday life.
Colleagues describe him as pragmatic in case assessment. He evaluates potential claims with an eye toward practical outcomes. That means balancing medical evidence, liability issues and the likely recovery against the time and cost of litigation. He prepares for trial when the facts and the client’s goals require it, and he pursues settlement when it best serves the client’s interests.
Block’s courtroom experience is matched by time spent managing pretrial preparation. Depositions, expert witness engagement and medical record review are routine parts of his practice. He guides clients through each step, explaining legal options and consequences in plain terms. The role often requires translating complex medical and legal information so clients can make informed decisions.
Outside the courtroom, he works to keep cases moving. That can mean negotiating with insurers, coordinating treatment documentation and filing necessary pleadings on schedule. He tends to take a hands-on approach to case management, keeping communication lines open and making sure pleadings, proofs and deadlines are addressed promptly.
He practices law in Florida and is a member of the state bar. At present he is engaged in personal injury work at The Personal Injury Team, representing people injured in accidents and pursuing recoveries on their behalf.
