Are you referring to punitive damages? I think the suit for punitive damages comes after the injured party has successfully sued the doctor for injury. I don't really know the answer, but doctors aren't hurting, they simply increase their fees. Proving malpractice is so difficult, when doctors band together, that it's usually the most egregious cases of doctor error that make it to court. And if something a doctor did is horrendous - amputate the wrong leg...on the wrong person, should there be a limit to what he has to pay. What about insurance companies, can they be trusted. Did you know State Farm won't insure any new housebuyers in CA because of the mold claims they've had to pay out on? Did they run in the red for a couple of years as a result? I don't know; somehow I doubt it.
