What’s at Stake
Caps on noneconomic damages are some of the early efforts at reforming the tort system and very heavy-handedly affect the older retired workers and low-income populations in a grossly disproportionate manner. They are discriminatory and don’t focus on reducing errors and enhancing patient safety. The case has far-reaching implications for older people in Kansas, and will send an important message to other states grappling with the same questions.
