Nevada May Lift Medical Malpractice Damages Cap; Should California Do the Same?
Well, it looks like the Nevada Medical Malpractice Reform Law may not see its' fifth birthday--or at least its' damage cap provision may not. Nevada legislators are considering overturning or raising the $350,000 cap for "pain and suffering" damages arising from medical malpractice.
The reason? Recent scandalous, unethical, and dangerous behavior by doctors in the state have led legislators to realize that damage caps hurt consumers while protecting negligent doctors.
We've taken a look at these developments and what it might mean for California's MICRA damage cap of $250,000. You can read more about this California medical malpractice development at our San Diego personal injury lawyer website here.
