For more than a decade, Florida Causes of Action has saved you research time, helping you to work more efficiently and advocate more effectively for your clients. The 2017 edition carries on that tradition of excellence, with new and updated coverage of 40+ causes of action, remedies, legal theories and defenses.

Author, Marc Wites, has added dozens of new case citations, covering a broad range of issues, including:

  • Arbitration agreements in medical malpractice cases.
  • Statutory caps on personal injury non-economic damages in medical negligence actions.
  • "Duty" as a defense to a wrongful death claim.
  • The constitutionality of the 104-week limit on temporary total disability workers' compensation benefits.
  • The constitutionality of the statute mandating a conclusive fee schedule for awarding attorney's fees to a successful workers' compensation claimant.
  • Elements of a claim for governmental intrusion, as outlined by the Florida Supreme Court.
  • "Public concern" as a defense to a claim for invasion of privacy.
  • "Unclean hands" as a defense to a temporary injunction.
  • The type of conduct that constitutes "undue influence" sufficient to sustain a cause of action for revocation of probate based on undue influence.
