Florida Senate narrowly passes bill allowing parents to sue for fetal death at any stage due to negligence.
Florida’s Senate Judiciary Committee narrowly approved SB 164, a bill allowing parents to sue for wrongful death of a fetus at any stage of pregnancy due to negligence, expanding current protections beyond 20 weeks.
Sponsored by Republican Sen. Erin Grall, the measure aims to provide legal recourse for miscarriage or stillbirth caused by negligence, covering mental anguish and future support, while excluding lawsuits against mothers and lawful medical providers.
It passed 5-4, with two Republicans opposing, raising concerns over potential litigation, increased liability for doctors, and impacts on obstetrical care access.
The bill now advances to the next Senate committee, facing an uncertain path amid political and medical opposition.
