Medical Malpractice Punitive Damages

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill would change New Mexico law to stop courts from awarding punitive damages in medical malpractice cases. If passed, it would mean that healthcare providers found liable for malpractice would not have to pay extra damages meant to punish them for their actions. This change would affect patients who sue for medical malpractice and the healthcare providers involved in such lawsuits.
