Drunk Driving Accident Attorney in South Florida

Representing Victims in Hollywood, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Across Broward, Miami-Dade & Palm Beach Counties

When someone chooses to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs, they put innocent lives at risk. Drunk driving accidents often lead to severe, life-altering injuries—or worse, fatal consequences. If you or a loved one has been hurt due to a drunk driver’s reckless actions, you have every right to pursue justice and compensation.

I’m Mark Schiffrin, a personal injury attorney based in Hollywood, Florida, serving clients throughout Broward County, Miami-Dade County, and Palm Beach County. For over 35 years, I’ve stood by victims and their families during the most difficult moments of their lives. My job is not only to seek financial compensation but also to bring accountability to those who break the law and harm others.

Understanding Drunk Driving Accident Cases

Driving under the influence (DUI) is illegal in Florida, and offenders can face serious criminal penalties. However, criminal charges alone don’t compensate victims for their injuries, lost income, or emotional trauma. That’s where civil legal action comes in.

Common Drunk Driving Accident Injuries:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries
• Broken bones
• Internal organ damage
• Emotional distress and PTSD
• Wrongful death

These injuries can change your life in an instant. I work closely with medical professionals, investigators, and experts to document the full scope of your injuries and losses.

Who Can Be Held Liable?

In most drunk driving cases, the intoxicated driver is primarily responsible. However, under Florida’s dram shop laws, certain businesses or establishments may also be held liable if they knowingly served alcohol to a visibly intoxicated individual or to a minor who later caused a crash.

Potential parties may include:

• The drunk driver
• A bar, restaurant, or liquor store
• Event hosts (in some cases involving underage drinking)

My role is to explore every angle of liability and fight to recover the maximum compensation available.

Your Legal Rights After a DUI Accident

Victims of drunk driving crashes in South Florida are entitled to pursue compensation for:

• Medical expenses (current and future)
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional and psychological harm
• Property damage
• Wrongful death damages (if you lost a loved one)

I handle all legal complexities, so you can focus on healing while I focus on justice.
