128. Compensating Persons Injured by Medical Malpractice and Other Tortious Behavior for Future Medical Expenses Under the Affordable Care Act.

Author

Mehlman, Maxwell J., Angoff, Jay, Malone, Patrick A., Silver, Charles M., and Weinbergeri, Peter H.

Subjects
PATIENT Protection & Affordable Care Act, MEDICAL care costs, MEDICAL malpractice, MEDICAL quality control, GOVERNMENT policy, COMPENSATION (Law)
Abstract

In an effort to reduce the amount of compensation available to persons injured by medical malpractice and other torts, opponents of the civil justice system are proposing to limit claimants' recovery for future care expenses to the maximum annual out-of-pocket limit under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which in 2015 is $6600. The article explains that the proposal is based on unreliable assumptions about the ACA; misunderstands the scope of the ACA's out-of-pocket limit; is unworkable; and would be bad public policy by reducing the quality of health care, shifting costs from tortfeasors to taxpayers, imposing additional losses on innocent claimants, and subverting the democratic process.

An essay is presented which provides a critique of the treatment of insurers' defense-related responsibilities in the American Law Institute's (ALI's) proposed "Principles of the Law of Liability Insurance" book, and it mentions how the ALI is converting this book into a Restatement of the law treatise. The legal rights and duties of liability insurance carriers are examined, along with penalties, remedies for breach of contract, and an insurer's duty to defend.

147. THE ECONOMICS OF PLAINTIFF-SIDE PERSONAL INJURY PRACTICE.

Author

Hyman, David A., Black, Bernard, and Silver, Charles

Subjects

Abstract

Little is known about the economics of plaintiff-side law firms, which typically work on a contingency fee basis. We begin here to fill that gap. We report on the fees received by 124 plaintiff-side personal injury firms located in four states (Illinois, Texas, and two additional undisclosed states). At all of the firms, cases with modest fees may help to keep the lights on, but occasional " blockbuster" cases account for an overwhelming percentage of earned fees. A one-third contingency fee is the most common arrangement but is not always collected ex post; when recoveries are low, firms often reduce or waive their fee. We also estimate the impact of various statutory contingency fee caps on these firms; the effect varies, depending on cap design and case- mix. But, many contingency fee caps dramatically affect the economics of plaintiff-side personal injury practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
