Description
The Orlando Regional Medical Center, Inc. (ORMC) appeals from a final judgment entered after a jury trial, which awarded $54,675 to Boleslaus Chmielewski in a medical malpractice claim and $23,687 to his wife, Carolyn, for her loss of consortium claim. This appeal was consolidated with appeals and cross appeals from a later judgment in the same cause which awarded the Chemielewskis costs and attorneys fees. We affirm the trial court in all regards, except its calculation of the attorneys fee award, which was limited by the terms of the contingency fee contract pursuant to Florida Patients Compensation Fund v. Rowe, 472 So.2d 1145 (Fla. 1985) and Standard Guaranty Insurance Co. v. Quanstrom, 555 So.2d 828 (Fla. 1990).
