Civil Litigation

Summary

The bill changes Florida law so judges must evaluate jury‑awarded money damages against a new set of criteria and can order a remittitur or additur, or a new trial on damages only, if the award is deemed unreasonable. It also clarifies that the same review applies to punitive damages that are less than three times the compensatory award. The changes would affect any civil case filed on or after July 1, 2026.
