Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

   Section  102(b)(7)  of the General  Corporation  Law of the State of Delaware
grants  corporations  the right to limit or eliminate the personal  liability of
their Directors in certain  circumstances in accordance with provisions  therein
set forth. Article NINTH of HEALTHSOUTH's  Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides  for  the  elimination  of  personal  liability  of a  Director  to the
corporation  or its  stockholders  for  monetary  damage  for the  breach of the
Director's  fiduciary  duty to the full  extent  allowable  under  such  Section
102(b)(7).

   Section 145 of the General  Corporation  Law of the State of Delaware  grants
corporations  the right to indemnify their  directors,  officers,  employees and
agents in  accordance  with the  provisions  therein  set  forth.  Article VI of
HEALTHSOUTH's  Bylaws  provides for the  indemnification  of such persons to the
full extent allowable under applicable law.

   HEALTHSOUTH  has entered into  agreements  with all of its  Directors and its
executive  officers  pursuant to which the company has agreed to indemnify  such
Directors and executive officers against liability incurred by them by reason of
their services as a Director to the fullest extent  allowable  under  applicable
law.

   The Underwriting  Agreement (Exhibit 1.1) provides for indemnification by the
Underwriters  of  the  registrant,  its  directors  and  officers,  and  by  the
Registrant  of  the  Underwriters  and  certain  related  persons,  for  certain
liabilities  arising under the Act and affords  certain  rights of  contribution
with respect thereto.

Item 17. Undertakings

   Insofar as indemnification  for liabilities  arising under the Securities Act
of 1933,  as amended (the "Act"),  may be permitted to  directors,  officers and
controlling  persons of the Company  pursuant to the  foregoing  provisions,  or
otherwise,  the Company has been advised  that in the opinion of the  Securities
and  Exchange  Commission  such  indemnification  is  against  public  policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for  indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other than the payment by the
Company of  expenses  incurred  or paid by a  director,  officer or  controlling
person  of the  Company  in  the  successful  defense  of any  action,  suit  or
proceeding)  is  asserted by such  director,  officer or  controlling  person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel  the matter has been  settled by  controlling  precedent,
submit  to a  court  of  appropriate  jurisdiction  the  question  whether  such
indemnification  by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

   The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that:

   (1) For purposes of determining  any liability under the Act, the information
       omitted from the form of  Prospectus  filed as part of this  Registration
       Statement  in  reliance  upon  Rule  430A  and  contained  in a  form  of
       Prospectus  filed by the  Company  pursuant to Rule  424(b)(1)  or (4) or
       497(h)  under the Act  shall be  deemed  to be part of this  Registration
       Statement as of the time it was declared effective.

   (2) For the  purpose  of  determining  any  liability  under  the  Act,  each
       post-effective  amendment  that  contains a form of  prospectus  shall be
       deemed to be a new  registration  statement  relating  to the  securities
       offered  therein,  and the offering of such securities at that time shall
       be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

              Re:           HEALTHSOUTH Corporation
                       Registration Statement on Form S-3

                         (Commission File No. 33-62475)

Gentlemen:

         We have served as counsel for  HEALTHSOUTH  Corporation,  a corporation
organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the  "Company"),
in  connection  with the  registration  under  the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as
amended,   pursuant  to  the  Company's   Registration  Statement  on  Form  S-3
(Commission  File No.  33-62475)  (the  "Registration  Statement"),  of a public
offering by the Company of an aggregate of  11,000,000  shares and, in the event
the  Underwriters  exercise  their  over-allotment  option,  up to an additional
1,650,000  shares (the "Shares") of the Company's  authorized  Common Stock, par
value $.01 per share.

         In connection with this opinion, we have examined and are familiar with
originals or copies  (certified or otherwise  identified to our satisfaction) of
the Registration  Statement and Amendment No. 1 thereto,  and of such documents,
corporate  records and other  instruments  relating to the  incorporation of the
Company and to the  authorization  and  issuance of the Shares as we have deemed
necessary and appropriate.

         Based  upon  the   foregoing,   and   having   regard  for  such  legal
considerations as we have deemed relevant, it is our opinion that:

         (1)      The Shares have been duly authorized.

         (2) Upon issuance,  sale and delivery of the Shares as  contemplated in
the Registration  Statement,  the Shares will be legally issued,  fully paid and
nonassessable.

                                           Very truly yours,
