what is the max cap for malpractice claims?

I handle malpractice cases in Georgia and Florida.  Georgia used to have statute that placed caps on the amount a jury could award as damages in a medical malpractice case.  However, several years ago the Georgia Supreme Court ruled that the one-size-fits-all damage cap violated the Georgia Constitution.  An appeallate Court may still conclude that any particular verdict is so high that it shocks the conscience and should be reduced, but it is on a case-by-case basis and there is no set cap on any case. Many other State Supreme Courts have reached the same conclusion as to their State malpractice caps, including Florida.  If you are a healthcare provider seeking medical malpractice liability insurance, you should probably seek the advice one or two medical malpractice insurance companies in your state as to the amounts most healthcare providers in your particular medical speciality usually carry, and why.  Best of luck to you,   Scott R.
