Qué contiene
Resumen con IA If a healthcare provider sexually assaults a patient, the usual limits on how much money a person can win in a lawsuit will no longer apply. This rule covers situations where the provider uses medical treatment or counseling as an excuse for the assault. It protects patients by allowing them to seek full compensation for their injuries in these specific cases. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)1
Lea la explicación oficial (en inglés)
This bill creates an exception to a medical malpractice limitation on damages in personal injury actions that involve a sexual assault. The bill provides that if the health care provider is a defendant in a personal injury action, the limitation on noneconomic damages does not apply if the defendant’s action is sexual in nature regardless of if the action was committed under the guise of medical diagnosis, counseling, or treatment or if the patient believed at the time the act occurred it was for medical diagnosis, counseling, or treatment.
