Attorney Information

Overview

Frank Santini is the founder and managing partner of Santini Personal Injury & Car Accident Law and a personal injury attorney licensed in Florida, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Based in Riverview, Florida, Santini represents individuals and families in serious personal injury and wrongful death matters. His firm also maintains a Phillipsburg, New Jersey office serving New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and the Lehigh Valley.

Santini’s practice includes car accidents, commercial truck and tractor-trailer crashes, motorcycle accidents, bicycle and e-bike accidents, catastrophic injuries, premises liability, medical malpractice, and product liability. He has particular experience analyzing complex accident causation, insurance and liability issues, commercial vehicle crashes, and emerging legal and safety issues involving electric bicycles and micromobility devices.

Santini is also the founder of Santini Research, the firm’s research and public-safety initiative focused on accident causation, transportation safety, roadway design, and emerging risks. His published research includes analyses of Florida bicycle injury and fatality data, youth e-bike safety, regional bicycle crash trends, and the effect of warehouse growth and modern commercial truck traffic on Lehigh Valley roads. His work combines legal analysis with crash data, transportation research, and examination of the physical and regulatory factors that contribute to preventable injuries.

Before founding his own firm, Santini served as a practice group leader at a nationally recognized Florida law firm, where his litigation experience included representing both injured plaintiffs and corporate and insurance clients. His broader litigation background includes state and federal court matters, arbitration, trials, and appellate litigation, including a published decision from the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

Santini graduated summa cum laude from Stetson University College of Law, ranking first among the law school’s full-time students and second overall in his graduating class. He has received an AV Preeminent peer-review rating from Martindale-Hubbell and was selected to the Super Lawyers Rising Stars list from 2017 through 2022. His legal writing has been published by the American Bar Association and the Daily Business Review, and he has presented to professional, governmental, and community audiences on legal, safety, and risk-management issues.
