Rep. Johanna López

A Central Florida lawmaker has refiled a measure that would repeal a Florida law that prevents certain plaintiffs from recovering non-economic damages in medical negligence cases.

HB 25 by Rep. Johanna López, D-Orlando, would create the “Keith Davis Family Protection Act,” in honor of a 62-year-old Navy veteran who died Oct. 15, 2020, of a pulmonary embolism while under a hospital’s care.
