Dave Eltringham

Dave Eltringham is a seasoned personal injury attorney and the founder and CEO of ELG Injury Lawyers, a firm known for client-centered advocacy, deep trial expertise, and a health-first approach to personal injury representation.

Background & Education
Here’s the thing about Dave: he didn’t stumble into law – he built his career on both rigorous legal training and lived experience.

Undergraduate degree from the University of Southern California.

Juris Doctor (J.D.) from Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, Yeshiva University in New York City.
Licensed to practice in multiple jurisdictions, including Florida, New York, and Oregon.
This foundation gave him technical expertise and an early recognition: the law has power only if it’s applied with clarity, integrity, and an eye toward real-world impact.

Professional Journey & Philosophy

Dave’s path is distinctive because it blends professional skill with personal insight. He’s not just someone who studies injury law; he’s someone who’s lived it. A severe personal injury early in his life changed his perspective, sharpening his understanding of what victims really endure physically, emotionally, and financially.

This matters because many lawyers understand injury abstractly. Dave learned it in the trenches. That experience isn’t a soundbite; it’s the lens through which he builds cases, coaches his team, and defines the firm’s culture.

He founded ELG Injury Lawyers around one idea:

People come to legal help at their lowest point. They deserve dignity, clarity, and maximum justice – not insurance company tactics that pressure them to settle cheaply.

That perspective shows up in how the firm operates:

High-touch client communication that keeps victims informed at every stage.
Deep case preparation, including expert witnesses and accident reconstruction when needed.
An emphasis on healing first — pushing for full medical recovery while building a legal strategy.
This combination of legal savvy and empathetic practice is why many clients describe him not just as an advocate but as someone who genuinely stood with them through the toughest moments of their lives.
