Negligence Attorney in South Florida

Holding Individuals and Businesses Accountable for Careless Actions

Accidents don’t always happen by chance—many happen because someone failed to act with reasonable care. When negligence leads to injury, the consequences can be life-altering. Whether it’s a property owner, driver, business, or professional, I’m here to help you hold them accountable.

I’m Mark Schiffrin, a negligence attorney based in Hollywood, Florida. For over 30 years, I’ve represented individuals and families across South Florida, including Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and throughout Broward and Miami-Dade Counties, in cases involving injuries caused by all types of negligence.

What is Negligence?

Negligence is the failure to exercise reasonable care, resulting in harm to another person. In legal terms, it means someone didn’t act the way a reasonable person would in the same situation—and because of that, someone got hurt.

Negligence can occur in countless ways. Some common examples include:

  • Slip and fall accidents on unsafe or poorly maintained property
  • Car, truck, or motorcycle accidents caused by distracted or reckless drivers
  • Medical negligence leading to injury or death
  • Workplace injuries due to unsafe conditions
  • Negligent security resulting in assault or injury
  • Daycare or nursing home negligence involving vulnerable individuals

 If you’ve been injured because of someone else’s failure to take proper care, I can help you understand your rights and pursue compensation for your losses.

What You Need to Prove

In a negligence case, I work to establish four key elements:

  1. Duty of Care – The other party had a legal obligation to act responsibly.
  2. Breach of Duty – They failed to uphold that responsibility.
  3. Causation – Their actions (or inaction) directly caused your injury.
  4. Damages – You suffered physical, emotional, or financial harm as a result.

As your South Florida negligence attorney, I will thoroughly investigate your case, collect the necessary evidence, and build a strong claim on your behalf.

Damages You May Be Entitled To

Depending on the specifics of your case, you may be eligible for compensation such as:

  • Medical expenses (past and future)
  • Lost wages or reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Property damage (where applicable)

 Every case is unique. During your free consultation, I’ll walk you through what compensation may apply to your situation.

Why Work With Me?

  • Over 30 Years of Legal Experience focused on negligence and personal injury cases
  • Direct Attorney Access—you work with me, not a case handler
  • Honest, Clear Communication from start to finish
