Medical Malpractice Reform


Medical Malpractice Reform -- Posted by Jason Begalke on 04-22-04 00:28


What do you think of these suggested reforms?

o Full Recovery for Economic Damages- Patients who are injured as a
result of medical malpractice should be able to recover fully all
economic damages.

o Limitations on Attorney Contingency Fees- Sensible limitations on
attorney fees mean that a greater proportion of the award goes to the
patient.

o Periodic Repayment of Future Expenses or Losses- Provide for
payments of judgments over time rather than in a single lump sum, to
ensure that appropriate payments are there when patients need them.

o Establish Uniform Statutes of Limitations- Ensure that old cases
cannot be brought years after an event, exceptions to be made for
children.

o Collateral Source Reform- Reduce the amount that doctors must pay if
a plaintiff has received other payments from an insurer to compensate
for their losses.

o Joint and Several Liability Reform- Provide that defendants pay
judgments in proportion to their fault.
