Eric S. Olson

With more than a decade of experience, Eric Olson has built a reputation as one of Southwest Florida's most trusted personal injury attorneys. As the founder of Cardinal Law, P.A., Eric has helped countless clients recover from life-altering injuries and losses—combining legal skill, compassion, and a deep commitment to his community. Eric's journey into personal injury law was shaped by personal tragedy: after losing his father to a misdiagnosed illness, he left a successful career in complex business litigation to focus on helping individuals and families facing their own unexpected hardships. Today, Eric is known for his holistic approach—fighting for both the compensation and the medical care his clients need to truly recover. Whether negotiating a settlement or taking a case to trial, Eric draws on his years of experience at the world's largest law firm and his deep roots in Naples to achieve results that make a difference—not just for his clients, but for the broader community. His work has led to policy changes, industry recognition, and, most importantly, a legacy of lives changed for the better. On average, only 2.5% of Florida attorneys are selected each year for Super Lawyers Rising Star. Only 2% of Florida Bar members are honored with Florida Legal Elite. Eric's history of excellence began in law school at the University of Miami School of Law. While there, he served as President of the Moot Court Board, was inducted into the Order of Barristers for his litigation skills, and was tapped into the Society of Bar & Gavel for his outstanding service and dedication to the law school. Eric was also a member of the Business Law Review, taught law and public policy to high school students, represented indigent debtors at the local legal aid society, and was a Fellow for both the Miami STREET LAW Program and the HOPE Public Interest Resource Center. Honoring his service and dedication to the school, Eric was selected to be a member of the Iron Arrow Honor Society, the "Highest Honor Attained at the University of Miami."
