Nevadans, you were duped by the medical malpractice insurance industry when you voted for the KODIN Ballot Initiative a few years back.
Now those injured through the sheer negligence and stupidity of a group of Nevada doctors may find that they’ve limited their ability to collect compensation.
Consider, for instance, that damages for pain and suffering are now capped in Nevada at $350,000.00. Evidence of insurance payments can come into evidence. The statute of limitations is now reduced to a year in many situations. The list of penalties for victims goes on and on.
If you got Hepatitis or HIV as the result of medical negligence do you think that $350,000 (before attorneys fees and costs) was enough to compensate you?
Call your state representatives and let them know that KODIN is a mistake.
