Florida passes three-strikes malpractice law

florida three strikes law

i practice in florida and can attest to the fact that malpractice litigation is one of the worst in the country.the law was really designed so that this kind of information would first become public record and secondly,be allowed to be used as evidence of a trend of malpractice in any litigation.
however,as of late the law has been stopped by a court of appeals at the state level.the court has ruled that the law descriminates against doctors on the magic number of three,without any consideration as to the nature of the lawsuit.
bottom line,with the amount of malpractice litigation in this state.you would lose three quarters of all your vital physicians(trauma,neuro etc) in this state.my county society believes it will be defeated in the courts.
