Changing the rules on Malpractice.

The Florida Medical Association decided Saturday it will try to change the state's constitution to ensure medical malpractice victims receive a larger share of court settlements they win. Under the proposed amendment, patients would receive 70 percent of the first $250,000 awarded and 90 percent of the rest of the award. Trial lawyers currently receive between 30-40 percent of malpractice awards.

Naturally, the lawyers are against this, and claim that the proposed admendment to the state constitution would make it impossible to try medical malpractice cases.

Naturally, in the case of psychiatric malpractice, I would be in favor the victims being able to get as much compensation as possible.
