In March, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a new law that will bring about tort reform. The bill, titled Civil Remedies, will make substantial changes to the way lawsuits are filed and how they are litigated.
DeSantis claims that this legislation will limit insurance and injury litigation, as well as attorneys’ fees, which will result in fewer frivolous lawsuits in Florida. In general, it will make it more difficult and expensive for injured parties to sue insurance companies. DeSantis proposed the new law in February, prior to the 2023 legislative session.
