Miami Medical Malpractice Lawyer

The medical malpractice attorneys at the Miami law firm of Freidin • Dobrinsky have been representing victims of medical negligence throughout South Florida for more than 25 years.
Medical malpractice, also referred to as medical negligence, applies to doctors, hospitals, nurses and other health care professionals. Medical malpractice occurs when one of these individuals fails to act reasonably or deviates from a reasonable standard of care that a similar medical professional would exercise under the same circumstances; leading to injury or death of a patient.
A skilled Florida medical malpractice attorney not only protects the rights of victims, but also helps to drive change by making our communities safer. In the landmark case Webb v. Priest, we established important pretrial discovery rules requiring defendant doctors to disclose their opinions about their own conduct and that of their colleagues. This case helped break down the so-called "conspiracy of silence" among doctors.
Philip Freidin and Randy Rosenblum along with co-counsel Mark Poses obtained a $38 million verdict for twin boys who were rendered blind due to the defendant doctor's malpractice after they were born premature. The lawyers at Freidin & Dobrinsky proved to a Ft. Myers jury that had the doctor properly screened and diagnosed the two infants, their sight would have been saved. Manuel Dobrinsky and Randy Rosenblum were named The Daily Business Reviews most effective lawyers in the area of medical malpractice for 2009.
Medical malpractice injuries can be difficult to prove and complex, and these cases require qualified experts from premier medical institutions to be proven. It can take several years to go trial.
