Arizona’s Governor Seek Medmal Cap: Arizona Votes Rejected This Several Times
LawsAccording to news sources, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey now wants Congress to adopt medical malpractice caps to limit what medical malpractice victims can receive from a jury award. This has been rejected several times by Arizona voters. But unfortunately this is not stopping Governor Ducey from still seeking what is constituents don’t want.
It is important to protect the rights of victims to ensure that they can have their day in court and get the maximum amount of compensation they deserve. Why should hospitals and negligent doctors be able to limit what a victim can get? A car accident defendant can’t, so why should negligent doctors? And there are far more car accidents then medical malpractice cases.
Victims shouldn’t be harmed by limits like this. Only 2.4% of all healthcare costs deal with medical malpractice and less then 1% are payouts to victims—the remaining is just defense which will always be there.
