Practice Areas
Focused on one thing: Florida motor vehicle injury cases.
Every type of crash raises different insurance and liability questions. Mark's practice is built around these four.
Rideshare Accidents
Injured as an Uber or Lyft passenger, driver, or someone hit by a rideshare vehicle. Coverage depends on what the app showed at the moment of the crash.
- Passengers & drivers
- Pedestrians & other motorists
- Company insurance policies
Trucking Accidents
Crashes with tractor-trailers, delivery vans and commercial vehicles often involve multiple companies, federal safety rules and evidence that must be preserved quickly.
- Driver logs & black-box data
- Carrier & shipper liability
- Catastrophic injuries
Motorcycle Accidents
Riders face real bias from insurers. Mark works to build the facts of the crash so the claim is judged on what actually happened.
- Left-turn & lane-change crashes
- Road hazard cases
- Serious & long-term injuries
Florida deadlines
Two clocks start the moment you're hurt.
Florida's 2023 tort reform shortened the time injured people have to act. Waiting can cost you benefits, or your case.
14days
See a doctor for PIP benefits
Under Florida's no-fault law, you generally must get initial medical treatment within 14 days of the crash to use your Personal Injury Protection benefits. Go even if you feel fine.
2years
File your injury lawsuit
For most negligence claims arising on or after March 24, 2023, Florida law allows two years to file suit, down from four. Some claims have different deadlines.

FAQ
Common questions
How much does it cost to hire Mark?
Nothing upfront. Cases are handled on a contingency fee, meaning the attorney's fee is a percentage of any recovery. If there's no recovery, you owe no attorney's fee. The fee agreement will be explained in writing before you sign anything.
Florida is a no-fault state. Can I still bring a claim against the other driver?
Your own PIP coverage pays first for part of your medical bills and lost wages. If your injuries meet Florida's legal threshold, such as a permanent injury or significant scarring, you may also be able to pursue the at-fault driver for additional damages.
What if I was partly at fault?
Florida now uses a modified comparative fault rule for most negligence cases. You can generally recover reduced damages if you were 50% or less at fault, but you may be barred from recovery if you're found more than 50% at fault. These questions depend heavily on the facts, which is why early investigation matters.
Who pays if I'm hurt in an Uber or Lyft?
It depends on whether the driver was offline, waiting for a ride request, or on an active trip. Different insurance policies, with different limits, apply in each situation.
Can I speak with you in Spanish?
Yes. Mark speaks fluent Spanish and can handle your consultation, case updates and meetings in Spanish. Sí, puede hablar con el abogado en español durante todo su caso.
Do you handle cases outside your home city?
Yes. Mark's main office is in St. Petersburg, and he meets clients by appointment in Key West and Jacksonville. He represents clients across Florida, and many consultations can also be handled by phone or video.
How long will my case take?
Every case is different. Some resolve within months; others, especially trucking cases or cases with serious injuries, can take longer. Mark will give you an honest picture once he understands the facts.
