[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp who looked up the bill and unless I am totally reading wrong, the cap DOES include punitive damages. [/quote]

Agree. I think "non-economic" is just another word for punitive.[/quote]

I can't find where I originally saw it clearly spelled out but unless I am totally mistaken, and I don't think I am, there is no cap on economic damages (I.e if you can prove you suffered $1 million in economic damages you can get that) but for non- economic damages, including medical malpractice and WRONGFUL DEATH, the cap is right now, since 2014, $300k period, full stop.

Right. If my 35 yo DH dies as a result of a company's negligence, my family loses $300k/year for the next 30 years. But with a kid that's hard. What a weird law.[/quote]

Don't worry, there are a million other avenues and people and manufacturers to sue. It's not just 'suing the water park'.

And Schitterbahn hasn't 'lawyered up'. I guarantee you that they employ a staff of experienced lawyers 24/7 .[/quote]
