Wonder why they didn’t do this when they controlled all three branches of government for six years.
There was tort reform in Texas and they went way too far. There are legimate malpractice suits that never get filed because the most a jury can award is $250,000. No insurance company will settle when that’s all they have to pay. An immigrant doctor damaged my heart. I can’t sue and the guy is still in business.
Actually, I agree with you. There should be no damage limitations. “Loser pays” should replace all that. I still think that special courts comprised of medical specialists who work full-time for the court system should judge medical malpractice cases.
You’re not telling the whole story. 250k is the limit on pain and suffering awards. Actual damages are unlimited.
Then why on earth did you agree to let him operate on you (if you had such misgivings about this "immigrant" doctor)?
