How did Florida response to the medical malpractice issue discussed in the 2nd
video? Explain the two requirements of the Comprehensive Medical
Malpractice Reform Act. Answer - Florida responded to the medical
malpractice crisis through reforms and legislative changes. The first was the
1985 Comprehensive Medical Malpractice Reform Act, which added steps that
must be taken before filing a malpractice lawsuit. The first requirement is that
, you must provide notice of intent to the person/practice you are suing. The
second is you much engage in pre-suit discovery. Pre-suit discovery encourages
parties to settle before going to court over a 90-day period. It allows the
practice to conduct their own investigation in order to decide whether they
should settle or take it to trial.
The second response is the 2003 Medical Malpractice legislative changes,
which put caps on non-economic damages, caps on damages in the emergency
room, and narrowed who is considered an "expert." The non-economic
damages cap was overturned in 2017 by the Supreme Court.
Florida was bifurcated because the state's loss rate was so high. What does
bifurcate mean and what did Florida do? Answer - To bifurcate means to break
into two branches. In this case, Florida had to be broken up into a higher and a
lower portion. The higher one includes places more south, such as Miami. The
lower one includes places such as Gainesville and the panhandle. In an attempt
to lower this loss rate, Florida responded by increasing premium rates. So far,
this response has been rather unsuccessful.
Explain each of the four elements of the medical malpractice. Answer - The
four elements of medical malpractice are DUTY, BREACH, CAUSATION, AND
DAMAGES. You need all four of these elements in order for there to be
negligence. Duty is essentially your responsibility as a provider to your patient.
An example of this would be a physical therapist having the duty to provide
physical therapy to a patient. Breach is a breach in duty, or some type of
mistake. Take a physical therapist who is providing therapy to a patient when
their hip pops out of place. The breach has to cause an injury (Causation), and
the injury has to cause damages (Damages). You need to have some type of
monetary compensation in order for the patient to get a new hip. All of these
things come together to indicate Negligence.

you ever get call in to do a deposition? Answer - If I ever get a call in to do a
deposition, I will NOT respond on my own. Instead, I will notify my insurer or
