Atlanta Journal Constitution: Medical malpractice caps unjustly penalize some victims, says UB expert

An article in the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports on proposed caps to medical malpractice suits and victim advocates who say a $250,000 cap on "pain and suffering" damages unfairly penalizes stay-at-home parents, children and retirees, creating a two-tier system of justice that penalizes people without jobs. The article quotes Lucinda Finley, vice provost for faculty affairs, who says caps are more harmful to women in general, for instance, a woman who is left unable to conceive because of a medical error.
