Fifth District Holds Florida Tort Reform Limitations on Medical Expenses Are Not Retroactive

In Eli Wolf v. Exylena Williams, No. 5D2023-3234 (Fla. 5th DCA Nov. 25, 2024), the Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed a Duval County trial court’s ruling that Florida Statute section 768.0427—part of the Florida Tort Reform Law passed in March 2023 restricting evidence of medical expenses in personal injury cases to amounts claimants actually paid or are obligated to pay—applies only to causes of action filed on or after March 24, 2023. The statute does not apply retroactively to cases filed before March 24, 2023. For more information, read the opinion.
