Nevada Lawmakers Consider Lifting Med-Mal Damages Cap
Nevada lawmakers are considering a bill that would end a voter-approved initiative that placed a $350,000 cap on medical malpractice damages. In addition to eliminating the cap on damages, the recently proposed bill would also extend the time limit to bring a medical malpractice claim from two years to five years. Support for increased medical regulation has grown since a massive hepatitis scare rocked a Las Vegas-area endoscopy center last year.
