About Bret
Bret Merkle is a Sioux Falls personal injury attorney who has practiced law since 1991, concentrating his work on civil litigation involving bodily injuries. Throughout his career, he has handled injury cases against major law firms and experienced defense attorneys, advocating for clients seeking fair compensation after serious accidents and injuries. He is a member of the South Dakota Trial Lawyers Association, South Dakota Bar Association, and American Bar Association.
Bret takes a hands-on approach to representing his clients. From the initial consultation through the resolution of a case, he works directly with the people he represents and remains accessible throughout the legal process. His own experience as an injury survivor, following a motorcycle accident that resulted in partial paralysis and the loss of his right leg below the knee, has given him a personal understanding of the challenges injured people face. That experience has become an important part of his commitment to helping others pursue justice and move forward after life-changing injuries.
