FREIDIN · DOBRINSKY has been achieving exceptional results for victims of medical negligence and malpractice in Fort Myers, Lee County, Collier County, and throughout South Florida.
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; which leads to injury or death of a patient.
A skilled 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.
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 to trial.
