Navigating Florida’s New Tort Reform and its effect on Premise Claims: Why Brubaker Injury Law Is Your Second Chance

Introduction

On March 24, 2023, Florida underwent a seismic shift in its legal landscape with the signing of House Bill 837. This comprehensive tort reform legislation led to significant changes, particularly in how premise liability cases are viewed by personal injury firms.

The Impact of HB 837 on Premises Liability Claims

1. Reduced Litigation: Many law firms are now reevaluating their approach to premises liability cases due to the new legal framework.
2. Modified Comparative Negligence: Florida has shifted from a “pure” comparative negligence standard to a “modified” one. Under this new standard, if a plaintiff is more negligent than the defendant, recovery becomes challenging.
3. Two-Year Statute of Limitations: The statute of limitations for general negligence claims has been reduced from four years to two years. Plaintiffs and their attorneys must act promptly, leading to earlier case evaluations and evidence collection.
4. Admissibility of Medical Expenses Evidence: HB 837 limits the evidence plaintiffs can introduce to prove past and future medical expenses.
