| Publisher Description: Assesses the impact of MICRA's limits on plaintiffs' awards and attorneys' fees on final judgments in medical malpractice cases. MICRA caps awards for non-economic losses at USD250,000 and limits plaintiffs' attorney fees. The authors examine the effects these limits have on both plaintiffs' awards and defendants' liabilities. |
