: New Hampshire Law BlogNH Senate Medical Malpractice bill
By David Austin and Jim Burke
A couple of days ago I wrote briefly about the House Bill that was to set up a review system for medical malpractice lawsuits in New Hampshire. See my post here.
Yesterday the New Hampshire Senate Judiciary Committee passed a different version of this bill. The Senate's version would require that all New Hampshire Medical Negligence cases appear before a panel with three members, A judge, a lawyer and a doctor. If the panel found unanimously that the malpractice case had no merit then that finding would be admissible in court. This is Senate Bill 214. Why not allow a unanimous finding of malpractice to be admissible as well?
The committee eliminated the requirement of a "mini-trial" I think that is a good move for all involved. Trying a case twice (Once to the panel and then once to the jury) just makes this more expensive for all.
