FLORIDA RECORD

TALLAHASSEE -- The U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform's 2019 Lawsuit Climate Survey ranks Florida only 46th in the nation in state liability systems.

Florida’s National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) director Bill Herrle is pleased with the direction Gov. Ron DeSantis is taking in changing the civil litigation environment throughout the state.

Despite officially closing in March, the Laser Spine Institute has been issued a judgment exceeding $300 million in the middle of a lawsuit that has stretched for 13 years.

TALLAHASSEE – With one Florida coastal city rejecting a push by environmentalists to pursue climate change litigation, Florida Chamber of Commerce executive David Hart observed that lawsuits against energy producers are not the right way to resolve coastal erosion challenges.
