In Part 2 of their discussion on the controversial bills being proposed in Florida's Legislature for 2023, Trial Attorneys William Zoeller and Jason Weisser discuss how HB 837 would gut the rights of Floridians for the benefit of the Insurance Lobby.

Florida is a "Comparative Negligence" state, meaning that when someone
is in an accident, multiple parties can share fault.

In the proposed new legislation, "Contributory Negligence" is a defense claim that applies when a plaintiff has contributed to their own injury through their own negligence. This means you may not be able to collect damages if you are found partially at-fault for your accident-related injuries.
