Getting past the consipiracy theories - this is the result of Florida consumers buying into the " We hate lawyers" rhetoric of the insurance industry and medical lobby and votng for 10% attorneys fees and higher standards for medical malpractice cases. Rather than stop "greedy lawyer" all that really happened, as we lawyers knew, is that lawyers simply wont take cases where they are expected to spend and risk $50,000-$150,000.00 in costs to work up up a med mal case to get a $500,000.00 judgement and recover $50,000.00 as a fee and ONLY when or if they win. As such, most lawyers will not take non-catastrophic cases on a contengent fee. You can thank yourself and our fellow Floridians for drinking the medical industrial complex koolaid and voting that people like you will just have to "take one for team" so doctors and inusrance carriers can continue to make money.
