Florida Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Association v. Dept. of Administrative Hearings
35 Fla. L. Weekly S 40 (Fla. 2010) (January)
In response to a certified question, the supreme court held that the notice requirement of section 766.316, Florida Statutes, is only satisfied if both the participating physician and the hospitals they work for give notice to the patient. If either fails to provide notice of participation, then the patient has to option to either accept compensation from NICA or file a malpractice action.
