A New Way Around MICRA and Wrongful Death Caps in California

Over the last four decades, the Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act of 1975 has undercut the rights of Californians injured by the negligent acts of our health care system.

While MICRA limits compensation for “non-economic” damages, it does not cap “economic” damages, such as lost wages for those unable to work because of injury or death. That means MICRA has a disproportionate impact on people who have little or no income – including children, the elderly, stay-at-home parents, and working class Californians – because they have little or no economic losses resulting from lost income. We will discuss potential ways around MICRA during this seminar.
