Jason Herman is a co-founding partner at Herman & Wells in Pinellas Park, Florida. He has practiced personal injury and insurance law since 2004, after graduating from Emory University School of Law. He is licensed in Florida and Georgia, including the Northern, Middle, and Southern Districts of Florida, the Northern and Southern Districts of Georgia, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
His practice focuses on representing people who have been seriously hurt in car accidents, truck and commercial vehicle crashes, motorcycle collisions, and catastrophic injury cases and people whose insurance companies have undervalued, delayed, or denied what they're owed. He has tried cases to verdict throughout Florida and has obtained judgments for clients exceeding $1 million. Attorneys at other firms have brought him into their cases when trials approach.
He also handles a category of cases most personal injury attorneys refer out: collecting excess judgments under a bad faith theory. When a jury returns a verdict above the policy limits, and the insurance company had a fair chance to settle within those limits and didn't, the insurer can be held responsible for the full amount. It's where his background in insurance law and his personal injury trial experience meet directly.
Jason started his career as coverage counsel at Travelers Insurance, evaluating claims and making coverage decisions from the insurer's side. He later spent seven years at Phelps Dunbar in their insurance practice before co-founding Herman & Wells with partner Cliff Wells in 2015. He knows how insurance companies assess cases, what moves their number, what doesn't, and when they've made the wrong call.
Jason was selected to Florida Rising Stars every year from 2010 through 2020, and to Florida Super Lawyers every year from 2022 through 2026. He holds an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell and is a member of the American Inns of Court.
Jason and Cliff have intentionally created systems at their firm to make sure clients cases are moving forward and ready to be tried and that clients are regularly updated on their cases and never left in the dark. Herman & Wells has more than 300 five-star Google reviews, many noting how well the firm communicates with clients.
