We obtained an appellate decision affirming the dismissal, with prejudice, of a wrongful death lawsuit filed against a long-term acute care hospital in Florida. The claim alleged the hospital improperly transferred the patient to another hospital without an adequate handoff and appropriate medications, resulting in the death of the patient shortly after arrival at the receiving hospital. The plaintiff sought damages for medical negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Health Care Liability
January 15, 2018

Florida Supreme Court strikes down caps on non-economic damages in personal injury medical negligence actions.

Health Care Liability
October 1, 2017
In 2014, the Florida Supreme Court held that caps on non-economic damages in medical malpractice actions violate the equal protection clause and are unconstitutional. Estate of McCall v. United States, 134 So. 3d 894 (Fla. 2014).

Florida Supreme Court rejects statutory changes to 90.702 and 90.704, Fla. Stat. to the extent they are procedural, apparently reverting back to Frye standard for admissibility of scientific evidence.

Health Care Liability
April 1, 2017
Prior to 2013, Florida courts applied the standard set forth in Frye v. United States, which provides that new or novel scientific evidence must be generally accepted within the scientific community to be admissible. Case Law Alerts, 2nd Quarter, April 2017
