Workplace Accident Injury Attorney in South Florida
Helping Injured Workers in Hollywood, Miami, Fort Lauderdale & Surrounding Areas Get the Support They Deserve
Getting hurt on the job can be life-changing—not just physically, but emotionally and financially too. Whether you’ve suffered a fall at a construction site, an injury from faulty machinery, or a repetitive strain injury in an office environment, the aftermath of a workplace accident can be overwhelming.
I’m Mark Schiffrin, a personal injury attorney based in Hollywood, Florida, with more than 35 years of experiencerepresenting injured individuals throughout Broward County, Miami-Dade County, and Palm Beach County. I provide dedicated legal support to workers who’ve been hurt because of unsafe working conditions, employer negligence, or third-party wrongdoing.
Common Types of Workplace Accidents
While some industries are more dangerous than others, workplace injuries can happen anywhere—from construction sites to corporate offices. I handle a wide range of workplace accident injury cases, including:
- Construction site accidents (falls from heights, scaffolding injuries)
- Slip and fall accidents on the job
- Crush injuries, amputations, or burns from machinery
- Repetitive motion injuries (carpal tunnel, back strain)
- Forklift or heavy equipment injuries
- Toxic exposure or inhalation injuries
- Falling object injuries
- Violence in the workplace
- Electrical or fire-related injuries
If your injury was caused by the negligence of your employer or a third party, you may be entitled to more than just workers’ compensation.
Can You File a Lawsuit Outside of Workers’ Compensation?
While Florida workers’ compensation typically covers medical expenses and partial lost wages, it may not always be enough—especially for serious or long-term injuries. You might also be eligible to file a personal injury claim if:
- A third party (not your employer) was responsible for the injury
- You were injured by defective equipment or machinery
- There was gross negligence or intentional harm involved
- You were injured on a dangerous property not owned by your employer
In these cases, a personal injury claim can help you pursue full compensation beyond workers’ comp, including pain and suffering, future lost wages, and long-term care needs.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
If your injury allows for a personal injury claim, I’ll work hard to help you recover:
- All medical expenses (present and future)
- Rehabilitation and therapy costs
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Home modifications or assistive devices
Every case is unique. I take the time to understand your injuries, your job, and how the accident has impacted your life.
