TALLAHASSEE – Testimony during a Senate committee Wednesday revealed there are at least 112 COVID-19-related lawsuits in the pipeline against nursing and assisted living facilities in Florida.
But legislation approved by the committee gets health care providers one step closer to being protected from COVID suits, as long as they followed the rules.
Health care workers doing their best on the frontline of the COVID fight could soon be immune from lawsuits.
“We’ve had 1.8 million Floridians affected,” said Sen. Jeff Brandes, R-Fla.
