Summary:
The McCullas sued Dr. Rell and Coastal Orthopedics & Sports Medicine of Southwest
Florida for medical malpractice after surgeries on Mr. McCulla's foot and ankle. Dr. Rell
argued the suit should be dismissed because the McCullas did not meet the pre-suit
requirements detailed in Florida medical malpractice law. The trial court denied his
motion to dismiss and Dr. Rell turned to the Second District Court of Appeal, which
agreed with him. The McCullas then asked this Court to review the decision by the 2nd
DCA.
