Missouri bill seeks cap on malpractice awards and tighter controls
A Missouri proposal aims to curb rising medical malpractice costs by capping non economic damages at 350 000, requiring extended payment for large judgments, speeding doctor discipline, and mandating minimum 500 000 in insurance. It would curb frivolous suits by demanding expert affidavits within nine days and allocate damages by degree of fault. The bill seeks broader reform and faces mixed support from trial lawyers and clinicians.
