Despite these results I don’t think we did the right thing. Instead of implementing caps on jury awards I would rather we had abolished class action lawsuits and imposed the loser pays rule. And I think those changes should apply to all civil suits, not just medical malpractice.
I fully agree. And, the loser pays everything including winners lost time at work, expenses of going to court, all attornies' fees, court costs, etc. If this were the way it was, a lot more disputes would be settled out of court.
