Legislature repeals ‘free kill’ law, ending ‘unjust’ ban on lawsuits over certain medical malpractice deaths
Florida lawmakers have agreed to repeal a 35-year-old law that today bars adult children over 25 and their parents from suing for pain and suffering due to a wrongful death caused by medical malpractice.
Legislation (HB 6017) deleting the unique provision from state statutes cleared a final Senate vote 33-4.
An overwhelming share of House lawmakers approved the bill late last month. It will next go to Gov. Ron DeSantis.
