Re: "I thought the proposed caps were only on "pain and suffering" part of the lawsuit." >>> When the victim is too young or too old to have income (the potential loss of which can be part of the recovery in these claims), then "pain and suffering" may be all that the victims can sue for... and a long case could easily eat it all up... the insurance companies can stretch the litigation out as long as they want... and there is no cap on the amount they can spend in defending against the claim.
