1. ““Since Florida appears to follow the common law rule on non-assignability of a personal injury claim, and absent statutory authority that permits the waiver or assignment of the right to bring an action under the wrongful death statute, we conclude that the right of action could not be waived or assigned in favor of a person in an inferior class by a person occupying a superior position.””
