Missouri Supreme Court Bars Retroactive Use of Malpractice Cap

The Missouri Supreme Court has ruled that a cap on medical malpractice damages created in 2005 cannot be applied retroactively to cases that occurred before the cap went into effect, according to a report by Business Week.

Missouri lowered its medical malpractice cap from $579,000 to $350,000 per lawsuit in 2005.
