Families Disagree with State’s Wrongful Death Law

In Florida, some wrongful death and medical malpractice cases will never be seen by a judge or jury due to Florida's Wrongful Death Law. The law was passed in 1990 and gives doctors, nurses, medical staff and hospitals special protection. This means that they cannot be sued for medical negligence if the adult patient has no kids under the age of 25 and no spouse.
