ANOTHER STATE MAY FOLLOW INDIANA'S LEAD AND IMPLEMENT MEDICAL MALPRACTICE CAPS
New York lawmakers are debating Medical Malpractice and Medical Negligence caps. Indiana was the first state to implement them. And that happened more than three decades ago... back in 1975. Many states have followed Indiana's lead since then.
As reported by www.NY1.com in "Emotions Run Strong as State Considers Medical Malpractice Cap," a New York state commission is suggesting a fund for neurologically-impaired babies as well as a cap on jury awards for pain and suffering. This is being hotly debated.
In Indiana, the Medical Malpractice reform law is known as the Indiana Compensation Act for Patients or INCAP. As detailed by the Indiana State Medical Association, this medical malpractice and medical negligence reform does cap jury awards but also limits attorney's fees while not limiting attorney expenses.
