Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Miami: Get the Justice You Deserve

Serving South Florida From North Miami Since 1988

When medical malpractice shatters your health or the life of someone you love, the consequences can be devastating and enduring. The physical harm, emotional trauma, and financial strain that follow often require more than just treatment—they demand relentless legal support.

At the Law Office of Mark Wolin, we bring over 35 years of experience representing medical malpractice victims throughout South Florida. Whether your injury resulted from a misdiagnosis, surgical error, or any form of negligence, our firm is here to hold healthcare providers accountable and secure the compensation you deserve.

What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional deviates from the accepted standard of care, causing harm to a patient. Unfortunately, medical malpractice continues to be recognized as a major cause of injuries and deaths. These cases can range from minor complications to life-altering or fatal outcomes.

Even a single error by a trusted provider can lead to profound suffering and lifelong challenges.

Common Causes of Medical Malpractice in Personal Injury Cases

Medical errors can happen in countless ways. At the Law Office of Mark Wolin, we’ve seen the most common medical errors include:

  • Misdiagnosis: Incorrectly identifying a condition, leading to improper treatment.
  • Delayed Diagnosis: Failing to detect a condition in time, worsening the outcome.
  • Surgical Errors: Mistakes like operating on the wrong site or leaving instruments inside.
  • Anesthesia Errors: Overdosing, underdosing, or failing to monitor during sedation.
  • Birth Injuries: Negligence during delivery harming the mother or child.
  • Wrong Medication: Prescribing or administering incorrect drugs.
  • Wrong Dosage of Medication: Giving too much or too little, causing harm.
  • Incorrect Procedures: Performing the wrong treatment for a condition.
  • Emergency Room Negligence: Delays, misjudgments, or inadequate care in critical moments.

Symptoms and Long-Term Effects of Medical Malpractice Injuries

Medical malpractice can upend every part of your life. Symptoms may be immediate or emerge later, requiring urgent medical and legal action.

Common Symptoms of Medical Malpractice Injuries:

  • Unexplained pain or worsening symptoms
  • Infection or fever post-treatment
  • Difficulty breathing or mobility
  • Confusion or cognitive changes
  • Excessive bleeding or swelling
  • Emotional distress or fatigue

Long-Term Effects:

  • Permanent disability or organ damage
  • Chronic pain or illness
  • Cognitive impairment or memory loss
  • Birth defects or developmental delays
  • Emotional trauma or PTSD
  • Dependency on lifelong care or therapy

Why You Need a Medical Malpractice Attorney

Medical malpractice cases are highly complex. Hospitals, doctors, and insurers often deny wrongdoing or blame the patient’s condition to avoid liability. Without expert legal representation, you risk receiving far less than you need for recovery, future care, and justice.

At Mark Wolin’s Law Office, We Will:

  • Investigate your medical care with precision and expertise
  • Gather records, expert testimony, and evidence to prove negligence
  • Handle negotiations with powerful insurers and legal teams
  • File a lawsuit and fight for you in court if a fair settlement isn’t reached
  • Pursue full compensation for your suffering and losses

Our investigative journalism background and trial experience equip us to challenge even the toughest medical malpractice defenses.

The Value of a Medical Malpractice Case in Florida

The value of a medical malpractice claim depends on injury severity, future medical needs, life impacts, and the provider’s negligence.

You May Be Entitled To Compensation For:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Rehabilitation or corrective treatment costs
  • Long-term care or in-home assistance
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

Mark Wolin has secured substantial settlements and verdicts for medical malpractice victims in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Monroe Counties. We collaborate with medical experts, economists, and care planners to ensure your claim reflects its true worth.

Past Verdicts - Medical Malpractice Cases

Our client Arthur was a grade school teacher in Miami’s inner city. One holiday weekend, Arthur was out drinking with friends, and was leaving a bar when he got into an altercation with an assailant who punched Arthur, and caused him to fall, striking his head on the curb.

Out cold, Arthur was taken by ambulance to the emergency room, arriving unconscious with the smell of alcohol on his breath. Arthur was set aside on a stretcher in the hallway for 22 hours when he was finally examined and it was discovered that his pupils were unequal and dilated–a sure sign of brain injury.

Unfortunately, a CT-scan taken almost immediately afterwards showed a large subdural hematoma–a bleed in the brain that had been going on for hours. With this kind of injury, time is critical to success in treatment. The longer the wait, the greater the damage.

Arthur did not die, but sustained extremely serious brain damage resulting from the delay in discovering the bleed inside his brain. Working with a team of colleagues, a confidential settlement was reached with the hospital, after we helped demonstrate that the hospital had mistaken a patient with a serious brain injury as just being drunk.

CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT FOR BEREAVED CHILDREN AND HUSBAND

Our client’s wife was admitted to hospital as a suicide risk. Unfortunately, her psychiatrist and the hospital failed to implement and follow appropriate suicide precautions, and while under their care, she took her own life. Through experts in psychiatry and nursing, we helped prove that if appropriate suicide precautions had been in place and followed, this tragic loss would not have occurred. A confidential and substantial settlement was reached shortly afterwards.

If you believe that a medical error has resulted in injury or loss to you or a loved one, please call us for a free consultation so that we may consult with you in detail about the occurrence and possible steps that may be taken to redress the resulting injuries.
