Mark Leeds—Aiding Clients in Florida, Oregon, and Around the Country

 

 mark@mjlpa.com

 

As a personal injury lawyer with over 30 years of experience, Mark Leeds combines legal passion with personal compassion for clients injured in any kind of accident.

 

Mark received his bachelor’s degree from Franklin & Marshall College in 1977 and went on to receive his law degree from the University of Miami in 1980. He has passed the bar exam in Florida, Tennessee, New York, Oregon, and Washington, and currently has bicoastal offices in Oregon and Florida. He works with a bilingual staff in order to be able to reach out to Spanish-speaking clientele.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Practice Areas

 

Mark’s practice areas include:

 

  • Auto accidents: When you’re seriously injured by a drunk, distracted, or reckless driver, you need to work with an accomplished attorney to get the remunerations you deserve.
  • Motorcycle accidents: Car drivers are not always watching for motorcycles at intersections or when switching lanes, which can lead to serious injuries for motorcycle riders. If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident, Mark Leeds can help.
  • Bike accidents: Bike riders have little to protect them if they’re struck by a larger vehicle and may need to work with a personal injury lawyer after being in an accident.
  • Truck accidents: Trucks can cause more damage than a normal automobile, so it’s crucial to get legal and medical help if you’ve been involved in a collision with a truck.
  • Cruise ship or airline accidents: If a cruise ship or airline is responsible for your physical or emotional suffering, don’t sit idly by.
  • Prescription drug errors: Prescription drug errors that cause overdoses or bad side effects are a particularly big problem in Florida’s elder community. Personal injury lawyers like Mark are working to bring attention to the issue and defend their clients against this medical negligence.
  • Brain injuries and spine injuries: Someone who has suffered brain or spine injuries at the hands of another may need expensive medical care for the rest of their life, and it’s important that they get the appropriate monetary compensation.

With a board certification in civil trial, Mark is able to evaluate cases to determine if his clients are entitled to compensation and will fight to get the best possible outcome for personal injury victims. Because he knows that personal injury victims have enough to worry about, he does not charge any lawyer fees unless his clients receive monetary compensation.

 

Experience

 

With 33 years of experience, Mark is able to handle even the most seemingly difficult personal injury cases. He helps his clients navigate the often confusing area of insurance claims, and he has worked with many medical experts to present their testimony to a jury after examining a client who has suffered a personal injury. These testimonies from a reliable voice in the medical field often help clients to receive the maximum amount of damages they are entitled to.

 

Awards and Reputation

 

Mark is a member in good standing with the Florida Bar, the New York State Bar Association, the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, and the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA). He has been a member of the Florida Bar Board since 1987, and in 2012, he was honored at the organization’s annual convention for being a Florida Bar Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer for 25 years. He has also received a Martindale-Hubbell AV rating, the highest ranking an attorney can receive for legal ability and professional ethics. He is well respected in the legal community, and the majority of his cases are referred to him from other personal injury lawyers.

 

Mark regularly works with clients throughout the state of Florida and in the Portland, Oregon area, and he is always happy to sit down for a no obligation, free consultation with anyone suffering from injuries caused by the recklessness or negligence of another.

CASE RESULTS

Motor Vehicle Accident
An elderly married couple was rear-ended by a private school-bus, causing massive property damage and catastrophic injuries to both.  The defendant bus company destroyed evidence in violation of a Court Order, the bus had bald tires, and the driver of the bus was terminally ill at the time of the crash.

Toddler Drowned in Pool
A two-year old toddler, the youngest of 5 children, tragically lost her life when she fell into the pool at her family’s rented home.  The home was delivered to the family by its absentee owners without any of the pool safety features required by Florida law pursuant Florida’s “Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act” (Florida Statutes Section 515 et.seq.).  The out-of-state landlords’ insurers paid their full policy limits and the uninsured management company paid $40,000.  The claim is still pending against the bank that sold the non-compliant home to the absentee landlords out of foreclosure and a local pool company that serviced the pool prior to the victim’s family moving in.

Golf-Cart Collision
A recently retired school teacher from New York was operating her golf cart on a sidewalk in her gated retirement community when the defendant lost control of his Cadillac Escalade and struck her in the rear.  The Escalade completely ran over the golf cart, killing the operator instantly.   The case settled confidentially for tenders of all available automobile and umbrella coverage for the Cadillac operator and all policies of uninsured motorist coverage for the golf cart operator.

Premises Liability
A 17 year-old opera singer with a bright future almost lost her life when she sat down on an ottoman at a popular local Italian restaurant.  When she sat down, her dress wafted into an open candle, one of many that had been placed on the floor for “atmosphere.”  The open candle ignited the dress, causing massive third-degree burns over 30% of the unfortunate teen’s body.
