First District Court of Appeal Florida

Jason Azzarone Was Successful in Arguing to The First District Court of Appeal

Jason M. AzzaroneJason Azzarone was successful in arguing to the First District Court of Appeal that the Trial Court was correct in dismissing the Plaintiff’s Complaint in a medical malpractice action brought against a hospital for the actions of its nursing staff. Mr. Azzarone argued that the Trial Court’s dismissal was proper because the Plaintiff’s pre-suit expert, and out of state physician, was statutorily unqualified to render opinions regarding the actions of the nurses. As the Plaintiff was time barred from curing this defect, the matter was dismissed with prejudice. The First District Court of Appeal entered a Per Curium Affirmance.
