Jennifer Ripple filed claims under Florida’s Wrongful Death Act after her husband died from mesothelioma due to asbestos exposure. On appeal, the Fourth District Court of Appeal held that Ripple, who married her husband after the injury of the asbestos exposure, could not recover damages as a surviving spouse under section 768.21(2) of the Act. The Fourth District Court of Appeal decision conflicts with another appellate court decision. Ripple asks this Court for review.
