Qué contiene
La explicación oficial está en inglés; todavía no hay resumen en palabras sencillas.
This bill relates to the total amount of noneconomic damages recoverable in a civil action for personal injury or death against a health care provider. Current law limits to $250,000 the amount of noneconomic damages recoverable for any occurrence resulting in injury or death of a patient regardless of the number of plaintiffs, derivative claims, theories of liability, or defendants in the civil action, unless the jury determines that there is a substantial or permanent loss or impairment of a bodily function, substantial disfigurement, or death, which warrants a finding that imposition of such a limitation would deprive the plaintiff of just compensation for the injuries sustained.
