Personal Injury &
Wrongful Death
When another party's wrongdoing changes your life, you deserve a lawyer who treats your recovery as personally as you do. We represent injured clients and grieving families across Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and surrounding counties.
Compensation You Are Owed
Mr. Dobkin is prepared to handle any type of personal injury or wrongful death case, and he understands how vital it is for clients to be fully compensated for the pain and suffering caused by another party's wrongdoing. He is exceptionally proud of the proven results he has achieved for injured clients and grieving families over four decades of practice.
When Movement Turns Tragic
From rear-end collisions on the Palmetto to commercial trucking crashes, motorcycle and bicycle injuries, and boating and airplane incidents, transportation accidents demand immediate, evidence-driven investigation. Black-box data, surveillance footage, and witness recollection all begin to disappear in the first days after a crash.
We move quickly to preserve evidence, identify every responsible party, and value your damages fully — including medical expenses, lost income, and the pain and disruption that no insurance adjuster wants to acknowledge.

- Boating & Airplane Accidents
When Negligence Hides In Plain Sight
Property owners have a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe for invited guests and customers. When that duty is ignored — through unmaintained walkways, hidden hazards, inadequate security, or defective construction — the resulting injuries can be life-altering.
Defective product cases reach even further, holding manufacturers, distributors, and retailers accountable for the dangerous goods they place into the stream of commerce. We pursue these claims with the engineering, medical, and economic experts they require.

- Slip & Fall Injuries
- Pedestrian Accidents
- Defective Products
Standing With Families In The Hardest Moments
There is no recovery that returns what a wrongful death takes. What the law can do is hold the responsible party accountable and provide surviving family members with the financial support they need to move forward. We pursue these cases with the discretion and care that grieving families deserve.
Nursing home abuse and neglect cases require the same combination of compassion and rigor — careful investigation of staffing, training, and care records to expose patterns that put the most vulnerable residents at risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our office represents clients across the full spectrum of personal injury and wrongful death matters — including motor vehicle, trucking, motorcycle, bicycle, boating, airplane, and pedestrian accidents, premises liability and slip and falls, nursing home abuse and neglect, products liability, and catastrophic injuries throughout Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and surrounding counties.
Personal injury and wrongful death cases are typically handled on a contingency-fee basis. You pay no attorney's fees unless we recover compensation on your behalf. The initial consultation is confidential and at no cost.
Florida law sets strict statutes of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death actions, and recent legislation has shortened several of these deadlines. Critical evidence — surveillance footage, vehicle data, witness memory — also disappears quickly. Speak with an attorney as soon as possible after the incident to preserve your rights.
Depending on the facts of your case, recoverable damages may include past and future medical expenses, lost wages and loss of earning capacity, property damage, pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and — in wrongful death matters — loss of companionship, support, and services to surviving family members.
Seek medical attention right away, even if your injuries seem minor. Report the incident, document the scene with photographs, get the names and contact information of any witnesses, preserve damaged property, and avoid giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters before consulting with an attorney.
Most personal injury cases resolve through settlement once liability and damages have been thoroughly developed. When an insurance carrier refuses to offer fair value, we are fully prepared to take the case to trial — and that readiness is often what produces the most favorable settlements.
