Marcus Rivera is a bilingual wrongful death attorney based in Miami, representing English- and Spanish-speaking families throughout South Florida. His practice focuses on motor vehicle wrongful death cases — including DUI fatalities, commercial truck crashes, and tourist-related accidents — where he leverages Florida's 2017 Supreme Court ruling eliminating non-economic damages caps to pursue full jury verdicts. Marcus has recovered over $95 million for wrongful death clients across 17 years of practice and is a recognized leader in Florida's wrongful death bar. His bilingual capability is particularly valuable in Miami-Dade and Broward County, where a substantial portion of wrongful death claimants are Spanish-speaking. Marcus works closely with accident reconstruction experts, forensic economists, and mental health professionals to build comprehensive damages cases that capture the full scope of each family's loss.
