Why Florida Won't Give Daryl Perritt Answers About His Son’s Death—The Tragedy Of Florida’s Free Kill Law

Eddie and Steph welcome Daryl Perritt to the pod this week to discuss Florida's "Free Kill" law. This carve out in Florida's Wrongful Death Act limits the ability of family members to file lawsuits for medical negligence, or malpractice, for adults who are 25 years or older and do not have a spouse of children. Daryl begins by sharing a bit about himself and the business he and his son, Cameron, have run for over a decade (6:07). He then talks about Cameron's medical history and the events surrounding his last visit to the hospital (10:43). They discuss the history and broader ramifications of the Free Kill law (18:38) and round out the episode by talking about Daryl's goals in educating people about the law, and his advocacy efforts to repeal it during this legislative session.  Support Daryl: https://www.floridafreekill.org/ Orlando Sentinel: Grieving father erects billboard welcoming motorists to ‘free kill’ Florida Follow Us: Extracurricular Podcast Stephanie Vanos Eddie Geller
