Biography

Adam J. Fernandez is a founding member and partner of Berger Fernandez PLLC in Tampa, Florida. He represents plaintiffs in medical malpractice and personal injury matters, with a focus on clients who have suffered injuries because of the negligence of others.

Mr. Fernandez handles cases involving motor vehicle, commercial vehicle, and trucking accidents; motorcycle accidents; maritime and boating accidents; defective or unsafe products; and trip-and-fall and slip-and-fall hazards. He also litigates complex “Dram Shop” claims against bars and restaurants involving the sale of alcohol and resulting intoxication-related injuries, including drunk-driving crashes. In addition, he represents policyholders in first-party insurance claims involving the wrongful denial of coverage.

Throughout his career, Mr. Fernandez has obtained multiple settlements for clients in amounts ranging from millions of dollars to eight figures. Results depend on the facts and circumstances of each case and do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Adam is a native Floridian who has lived in the Tampa Bay area for more than 35 years. Outside of his legal practice, he is an avid outdoorsman with a passion for saltwater fly fishing. His connection to the water also led him to serve as a board member of Tampa Bay Waterkeeper, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting, improving, and preserving the Tampa Bay watershed.
