Missouri Governor Signs Med mal Caps bill //TortsProf Blog

TortsProf Blog

Missouri Governor Jay Nixon signed the med mal caps bill passed by the legislature (earlier coverage here):
The limits apply only to noneconomic damages, not medical costs or lost wages.
Most noneconomic damages would be capped at $400,000. For catastrophic cases, including paralysis or brain injury, the cap would be $700,000.
The bill also doubles the limit in wrongful death cases to $700,000.
