Newsom signs compromise law raising the limit on medical malpractice damages

[Lovie777]

1. That still is extremely low for medical malpractice . ..

Many attorneys will not touch that now nor in the future. My brother had his prostrate surgically removed at an outpatient facility wherein the doctor I guess unknowingly snipped his bladder. He was sent home several hours after the surgery. Later that night he had so much pain his wife had to rush him to the ER. The snip caused Stepic shock, and he almost died. Was in the hospital for about a month.

$250,000 is the limit and no attorney wanted to pursue the matter.
