#Florida lawmakers are making strides toward repealing the state’s “Free Kill” statute, a law that unfairly prevents families of certain medical malpractice victims from seeking justice. HB 6017, which has received bipartisan support, aims to close this loophole and ensure equal protection for all victims of medical negligence. For the Daily Business Review, #PodhurstOrseck’s Ramon Rasco called the current law “indefensible”, emphasizing that it “unfairly and unjustly singles out medical malpractice victims."

A #Florida federal judge certified multiple class actions for #Mercedes-Benz drivers in the #Takata airbag MDL, finding common issues justify a single trial. U.S. District Judge Federico Moreno ruled that all class members likely faced misrepresentations about their vehicles' safety.
