Michael F. Hancock

I have enjoyed representing clients across Florida in personal injury, wrongful death, and insurance dispute claims for over 29 years. My clients' claims usually result from car and motorcycle accidents, trucking accidents, slip and fall type incidents and insurance disputes involving damage to family homes by sinkholes. I have particular expertise in representing clients with whiplash type injuries, bulging and herniated discs in the spine, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, paralysis, broken bones, amputations and death. Please visit my firm's website at www.lawhancock.com for more information on how I can help you and your family. I am a second generation native to Tampa, Florida. When not in the office, I enjoy time with my family and two teenage daughters. We enjoy mostly outdoor activities, such as saltwater fishing, water skiing and off-road biking.
