Oklahoma Tort Reform
Oklahoma is among the 30 states leading the way with tort reform. Recent legislation in Oklahoma positively affected the marketplace in favor of physicians compared to the previous laws on the books. Ultimately, the tort reform resulted in a significant reduction in both the total awards as well as the total number of claims. The reform placed limits on the amount that can be awarded to a plaintiff in cases. Unless the plaintiff could demonstrate that the physician’s actions disregarded the rights of others, the law limits the jury’s punitive damages to $100,000. In cases where the defendant was found to act in a malicious and intentional regard, the limit becomes $500,000. Caps are not applicable in cases where a judge determines that malicious and intentional acts threatened life or resulted in permanent injury to the plaintiff.
These tort reforms positively impacted physician’s medical malpractice insurance options in Oklahoma.
