Fla. Court Tosses $104 Million Pool Death Award

Miami Daily Business Review

Last week, a Florida appeals court panel found a jury was right to hold a pool drain maker liable for a 14-year-old boy's injuries -- but the panel reversed the verdict and the $104 million judgment, which judges called "shockingly excessive." The 2003 award was believed to be the largest verdict in an individual personal injury case in state history. The case focused on a 14-year-old boy who suffered brain damage from being sucked into a pool drain after his friend removed a loose, protective grate.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
