RumbergerKirk attorneys Jessica Romanies and Meredith Fee provided a practical, in-depth look at Florida’s recent tort reform and its sweeping impact on litigation strategy and case valuation during a webinar for the Florida Defense Lawyers Association (FDLA).

The session began with a concise overview of the key statutory changes, with a focus on the new limitations on the admissibility of medical bills and costs. Attendees learned how these changes affect not only what evidence can be presented at trial, but also how to structure discovery–including nonparty discovery–to uncover admissible medical damages. The training highlighted how the valuation of claims has fundamentally shifted, offering comparisons between pre- and post-reform approaches and discussing tactics for navigating this evolving legal landscape.
