Jarrett DeLuca focuses his practice exclusively on complex personal injury, medical malpractice, and wrongful death litigation. Over the course of more than a decade of practice, Mr. DeLuca has obtained numerous multi-million dollar awards and settlements for his clients. He is consistently recognized by his peers in the area of plaintiff's personal injury law and has published numerous articles in state and national legal journals discussing trial strategy, arbitration agreements, cruise ship liability and other legal topics. In 2012 and each subsequent year, Jarrett has been named by Florida Super Lawyers magazine as a Rising Star in the area of plaintiff’s personal injury litigation - a recognition given to only 2.5% of Florida’s lawyers. He was also named by The National Trial Lawyers: Top 40 under 40, an invitation only professional association comprised of the top trial attorneys in each state under the age of 40. In 2015, he awarded an AV Preeminent rating by Martindale-Hubbell in the areas of personal injury, medical malpractice, and products liability law. This is the highest rating available from Martindale-Hubbell, given for high ethical standards and legal ability.
From 2008 to 2011, Mr. DeLuca served as an adjunct faculty member at St. Thomas School of Law where he lectured and worked with law students on the St. Thomas Trial Team. During that time, he also tried multiple personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits with members of his former law firm, two of which resulted in confidential settlements while another resulted in a $20,000,000.00 verdict against three of America’s largest tobacco companies. That verdict followed a four-week wrongful death trial involving three adult children who lost their mother to a tobacco related illness in the mid 1990’s. In 2012, Jarrett was involved in a complex product liability trial against Ford Motor Company as well as a trial against CSX Transportation, Inc. which resulted in a $472,819.00 verdict for a railroad employee injured during a train derailment.
