Overview

Miguel R. Roura is a partner in the Tampa office of Roig Lawyers.

Miguel concentrates his practice in the areas of Personal Injury Protection (PIP)/No-Fault litigation and fraud (SIU) investigations. He also defends clients in cases involving bodily injury, uninsured motorist, property damage, and general liability litigation. The identification and investigation of fraudulent claims represents a significant portion of Miguel’s practice.

As a skilled trial attorney, Miguel has tried over thirty cases in circuit and county court. He is also experienced in the use of alternative dispute resolution techniques, including mediation and arbitration, as a means of litigation avoidance.
