SC03-1245

Transcript:

Summary:

Section 768.76, Florida Statutes, instructs courts to reduce compensatory damages awards by the amounts available to plaintiffs from statutorily-defined collateral sources. The certified question before the Court is whether discounts off medical bills, given by medical providers as required under an HMO contract, constitute "collateral sources" to reduce an award of damages under section 768.76.
