Caruso v. Baumle
27 Fla. L. Weekly D2295 (Fla. 5th DCA October 25, 2002)
There is ambiguity in the statutes that needs to be addressed by the legislature regarding set-off from collateral sources. Section 768.76, Florida Statutes, requires the court to reduce the damage award by the collateral source payments, whereas section 627.7372 requires that evidence of collateral source payments be presented to the jury during trial and the jury deduct those payments from its verdict.
