: CKA Mediation and Arbitration Services BlogGeorgia Supreme Court Lifts Cap on Pain and Suffering Damages in Malpractice Claims
By Christopher Annunziata
On Monday, a unanimous Georgia Supreme Court overturned one of the more controversial elements of the state’s 2005 Tort Reform act – a cap of $350,000 on “non-economic” damages (known better to you and me as “pain and suffering”). Chief Justice Hunstein wrote that, “The very existence of the caps, in any amount, is violative of the right to trial by jury.”
