Virginia group urges higher damages in wrongful death cases
The Virginia Advisory Legislative Council urged raising the maximum damages from 40000 to 80000 for wrongful death in traffic and other torts. The plan would split limits into 25000 for solace, 5000 for medical expenses, and 50000 for dependents. It also proposes taxable costs up to 200 for abuse of non suit, allowing undisputed doctors certificates, and refining uninsured motorist rules. The recommendations follow a study led by Senator Joseph C. Hutcheson.
