I was thinking of a sum totalling no more than $2,500. That would chase away most ambulance chasers.

This shouldn't be necessary if we had responsible juries and judges in these cases (AND OTHERS). They are attorney driven.......and drive up the costs of our medical insurance and consequently effect us all.

Try having a child that has brain damage because of medical malpractice. What do you think of your $2500 cap?

I know I have a child with a medical malpractice potential suit. We can't even find a lawyer because they say it isn't worth it. After you pay the lawyers, there isn't much left.

It sucks, and my daughter is the one who is going to suffer. Everyone agrees that the doctors screwed up, but no one (except us) wants to help her. If insurance covers occupational therapy, speech therapy, phsysical therapy, it's limited. If the school cover occupational therapy or speech therapy, it's limited.

No one pays for tutors to help. No one is going to pay for her when she can't get a job.

It sucks!!!!!!!!!!!! Her doctor's were lazy. She was 6 weeks old, and all they had to do was put her in the hospital and run some tests. She was vomiting, and the nurse praticioner just sent us home with sugar water because they were out of pedialyte. This caused her electrolytes to get imbalanced, along with some other mistakes and she has permanent brain damage.

Some lawsuits are frivolous, and some aren't. An adult getting burned by hot coffee is frivolous. A baby getting brain damage from a lazy doctor is not.
