Medical Liability Reform Bill introduced in NC State Senate
February 9th, 2011
On February 2, 2011, three senators introduced SB 33 into the North Carolina State Senate. The bill contemplates capping noneconomic damages for pain and suffering, limiting liability for providers of emergency services and allowing for periodic payments of large awards in lieu of lump sum payments. The bill also seeks to bifurcate trials into two phases to separate liability question from monetary damages.
The North Carolina General Assembly website provides this page through which the bill can be read and tracked.
