The Florida Supreme Court heard two cases Thursday testing the boundaries of pre-suit requirements for medical malpractice lawsuits.

The estate of Enrique Casasnovas, a diabetic who died in 2007, alleges it should not have to comply with pre-suit requirements because it isn’t bringing a medical malpractice case. Casasnovas was refused the care of a gastroenterologist when he was taken to the emergency room at Palms West Hospital in Loxahatchee.
