Florida Physicians Ask Colleagues Nationwide to Support Effort to Cap Attorney’s Fees in Malpractice Cases
[Posted 05/19/04]

The Florida Medical Association is seeking the support of physicians around the nation to secure passage of an amendment to the Florida state constitution that would cap attorney contingency fees in medical malpractice cases. CMA supports this effort and with FMA hopes that this amendment—which would limit attorney fees to 30 percent of the first $250,000 and 10 percent thereafter—will decrease the incentive for trial attorneys to play the “tort litigation lottery” and fuel the national movement to achieve effective tort reform.
