Texas seeks cap on medical malpractice non economic damages
Texas lawmakers filed a bill to cap non economic damages in medical malpractice at 250000 dollars to curb rising doctor insurance costs. Sen. Jane Nelson noted 2002 cost increases and dwindling insurance carriers while critics warned caps would harm legitimate claims. Austin gynecologist Dr Mary Gasal cited premium jumps and upcoming practice closures. The measure also tightens contingency fees, extends service notice, and allows periodic payments, with supporters citing frivolous suit reduction. Critics warn it could hurt deserving claimants and raise patient risk.

Slang in Marketing Faces A Younger Audience
