Todd McPharlin is committed to the representation of those injured by reckless drivers, automotive manufacturers, medical device and pharmaceutical companies, tobacco companies, HMOs and insurance companies. Additional areas of practice include negligent security, unsafe and dangerous workplaces, defective construction equipment, medical malpractice and insurance coverage disputes.
Todd began his professional career as an Assistant State Public Defender for the 17th Judicial Circuit in Broward County, Florida. During his tenure there, he represented hundreds of clients and gained valuable courtroom and trial experience in the misdemeanor and felony divisions.
Through hard work and dedication, Todd has been instrumental in obtaining numerous multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements on behalf of his clients. Among his accomplishments, he represented a man and his family in a case involving racial profiling at local business establishment, for which the jury awarded more than $2.5 million. Todd also represented a father whose wife, while pregnant, was severely injured in a motor vehicle accident, and the jury awarded in excess of $6 million to the father and his child who suffered prenatal injuries. Significantly, the trial court agreed (and affirmed on appeal) that the physical injuries sustained by the child prior to his birth, as well as the child's claim for loss of consortium because of the injuries sustained by the mother, were compensable claims under Florida Law.
