Civil Liability for the Wrongful Death of an Unborn Child

Summary

The measure amends Florida’s wrongful‑death statutes to define an "unborn child" and to treat the parents of that child as "survivors" who can seek damages. It bars wrongful‑death actions against the mother or a health‑care provider when the care was lawful and given with the mother’s consent, while permitting parents to recover certain damages, including mental pain and suffering. The bill failed to advance and died in committee.
