California Court of Appeal
Chan v. Curran, A138234
In a medical malpractice action, arising out of fatal internal hemorrhaging related to Coumadin use following heart surgery, the trial court's postverdict reduction of the $1 million noneconomic damages award to $250,000, as required by the Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act of 1975 (MICRA) is affirmed where the legitimate debate over the wisdom of MICRA's noneconomic damages cap remains a matter for the Legislature and state electorate.
