In 2013, the state Legislature amended Florida Statute §90.702, rejecting the Frye standard that governed the admissibility of expert testimony for nearly a century and adopting the Daubert standard in its place.
Although the Florida Supreme Court has yet to explicitly adopt the amendments, one thing is clear: Lower courts are applying Daubert and seeking guidance from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. See, for example, Perez v. Bell South Telecommunications, 130 So. 3d 492 (Fla. 3d DCA 2014).
