The Florida Supreme Court sided with a medical malpractice plaintiff Thursday in reversing the Third District Court of Appeal on access to hospital records in a case against Cedars Healthcare Group Ltd. in Miami.
Justice Peggy Quince, writing for a unanimous court, said Cedars could not restrict the scope of records sought by Myriam Ampuero-Martinez, who filed a wrongful death claim following the death of her father after surgery at Cedars Medical Center, which was sold to the University of Miami.
