Qué contiene
Resumen con IA People who are injured or die due to a healthcare provider's actions can now receive more money for non-financial losses like pain and suffering. The maximum amount they can get is being raised from $250,000 to $1 million. This change also removes the previous rule that allowed juries to bypass the limit in certain cases.

Lea la explicación oficial (en inglés)
Under current law, the limit for the total amount recoverable for noneconomic damages for personal injury or death against a health care provider in a civil action is $250,000, unless the jury determines that there is 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. This bill increases the cap from $250,000 to $1 million and removes the exception to the cap.
