California Court of Appeal

A damages award to plaintiff and against defendant-physician in a medical malpractice action is affirmed but modified, where: 1) defendant-physician was entitled to an offset as to the economic damages awarded by the jury and to a portion of the non-economic damages, based on pretrial good faith settlements by two co-defendants; and 2) plaintiff's constitutional challenges to the $250,000 limitation on non-economic damages in Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act of 1975 (MICRA), fails.
