Daniel J. Plaia

Daniel J. Plaia is a plaintiff-focused trial lawyer who handles personal injury and other litigation matters for clients who have been hurt and need strong advocacy.

Daniel developed a strong trial foundation before joining Brach Eichler Injury Lawyers while working for a global casualty insurance company, where he successfully tried several automobile accident and slip-and-fall cases to verdict. He also worked at a national law firm in New York, managing construction and New York Labor Law litigation and gaining experience with complex liability issues and demanding litigation schedules. That combination of insurance and large-firm experience helps Daniel anticipate defense strategies and prepare each case with a trial-ready mindset. Daniel has been recognized in Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America (2026) for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs, an honor based on confidential peer review by fellow attorneys. The recognition underscores his growing reputation and commitment to strong plaintiff-side advocacy.
