OVERVIEW
Florida’s personal injury landscape has fundamentally changed since the passage of HB 837. The law tightened filing deadlines, changed comparative negligence standards, limited recoverable damages, and redefined how medical evidence and attorney fees are handled. These reforms have shifted the balance of litigation, requiring personal injury firms to work faster, prove more, and operate with far greater precision.
At the same time, artificial intelligence is transforming the practice of law. From automated medical summaries and AI assisted demand letters to predictive claim modeling and defense analytics, new technologies are reshaping how evidence is discovered, evaluated, and presented. For plaintiff firms, understanding both the constraints of tort reform and the opportunity of AI is essential to maintaining an edge in a rapidly evolving legal environment.
This session will equip Florida personal injury attorneys with the insight and strategies needed to adapt their practices for success in the post HB 837 era, where data, documentation, and defensible evidence matter more than ever.
