phantom damages

By Y. Peter Kang Law360 (February 5, 2020, 6:42 PM EST) -- Injury defense attorneys in Florida are closely watching proposed legislation that would outlaw so-called phantom damages in injury trials, describing the bill as a key step in reining in jury verdicts that don’t reflect the actual costs of medical care. The Florida Senate’s Judiciary Committee on Jan. 28 advanced S.B. 1668, a bill that would bar phantom damages, or when a jury only hears about the billed price of medical expenses, which is often not the actual amount paid by an insurance company that already negotiated discount prices...

Medical Malpractice

By Y. Peter Kang Law360 (May 17, 2019, 8:05 PM EDT) -- A recently floated Military Medical Malpractice bill that would allow active-duty military members to sue the federal government for medical malpractice is an encouraging first step in providing justice for victims who are barred from filing such cases because of a 70-year-old U.S. Supreme Court precedent, experts said. Led by U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., House lawmakers introduced bipartisan legislation on April 30 that would carve out a medical malpractice exception under the Federal Tort Claims Act, which specifically bars military members' claims for injuries or deaths "incident to” their service.
