Crazy Florida medical practice law

My biological father went in for routine Laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, a surgery my niece had last month, but they nicked his Aorta and he did not make it. According to an attorney in FL unless you are a spouse or child under 25 you cannot sue for malpractice.
His surgery was scheduled for 3:00, the Dr did three procedures first then had an emergency to do, they didn't take him in until 8:00 that night to do the procedure and fricked it up.

There are far too many medical malpractice suits in the US and it makes it harder for legit cases. Sad.

Sorry for your loss.
The part I quoted is pretty standard and common.

I want to be snarky with the idiots here who clamor on about tort reform and whatnot, but I just can't bring myself to do it.
That's a terrible story, man, and I'm sorry you're having to go through it.

You must be a malpractice lawyer. These things are part of the reason healthcare costs are so high.

Sorry for your loss. I'm an attorney in Florida and I would definitely get a second opinion. There are so many elderly malpractice cases here that I find it hard to believe only children under 25/spouses can sue. I have never heard of such law.

do you have any idea how the system for med mal suits in Louisiana works? seriously, do you have any knowledge at all on the subject? or do you just repeat some bullshite you hear?

No one sues doctors for malpractice because tort reform has raised the burden of recovery while placing caps on potential recovery.
You don't know what you are talking about.

I'm wrong. Terrible law. You can thank tort reform. I would still talk to a top malpractice attorney in the state. I'm sure there are exceptions

That is crazy. What is the reasoning behind only allowing children under 25 to sue?

The case in the OP is why cost go up, you know the ones where DRs or facilities kill or maim people.

My condolences for your dad. Sounds like the FL legislature has limited recovery to a very specific class of plaintiffs.
