Florida’s Sixth District Court of Appeal ruled that a sports medicine physician for a Major League Baseball team must litigate in state court the claims arising from the death of a player following the doctor’s provision of medical care.

Michael Levine and Gary Fox, partners at Stewart Tilghman Fox Bianchi & Cain in Miami, are among the attorneys representing the plaintiff, the estate of Ryan Costello, who sued the defendant, Dr. David Olson.
