Florida lawmakers pass wrongful death legislation
It’s now up to Gov. Ron DeSantis to decide whether to repeal a 35-year-old Florida law that bars adult children and their parents from recovering non-economic damages in wrongful death cases tied to medical negligence.
The Senate voted 33-4 late last week to sign off on HB 6017 by Rep. Dana Trabulsy, R-Ft. Pierce.
Senate Judiciary Chair Clay Yarborough, a Jacksonville Republican, sponsored the companion, SB 734.
