Personal Injury Roundup No. 40 (6/19/09)
I hope you are enjoying the opportunity to focus exclusively on scholarship as much as I am. Without further ado…
Reform, Legislation, Policy
- Obama open to med mal reform, but not damage caps. (ABA Journal)
- States reform med mal for ER docs. (Point of Law) On this issue, AZ bill advances. (AZCapitolTimes) I prefer a different approach.
Trials, Settlement and Other Ends
- In NC: a $500,000 alienation of affections and criminal conversation award. (Overlawyered) Again, I prefer a different approach. (I’m feeling contrary.)
- Jury awards $1.8M in MI med mal death case. (Morning Sun)
Damages
- Will Exxon now pay for the Valdez spill? (The Pop Tort) (See also Legal Newsline.com)
Appeals
- A decision that was to clarify PA products law has been dismissed as improvidently granted. (Drug & Device Law)
Miscellaneous
- VA law firm Williams Mullen has started a new business tort blog, Unfair Business Practices. (Day on Torts)
