Giles v. Luckie

27 Fla. L. Weekly D1126 (Fla. 1st DCA, May 24, 2002)

Section 627.737 (2), Florida Statutes, exempts a covered defendant from liability for all noneconomic damages, not just those specifically listed, except in cases involving a threshold injury. Since this is a recurring issue in the courts of Florida, the First District Court of Appeal certified the following question to the Florida Supreme Court: "Does section 627.737 exempt a covered defendant from liability for all noneconomic damages unless a threshold injury is established?"
