33 states (if I remember) have capped non-economic damages at around $250K.
Yet, we are still talking about Tort Reform.
What does that tell you?
It tells me those states don't make the loser pay the winner if the loser is the plaintiff.
Why should we implement "loser pay" for civil wrongs? We don't send the accusers to prison when the defendants aren't convicted.
Don't mix civil and criminal law. The cost of defending spurious malpractice suits incentivized providers and insurers for setting out of court.
