the claims for and award of those damages, including costs and interest, may not exceed $300,000 for any and all claims arising
out of a single occurrence. When the amount awarded to or settled for multiple claimants exceeds the limit imposed by this
section, any party may apply to the Superior Court for the county in which the governmental entity is located to allocate
to each claimant that claimant's equitable share of the total, limited as required by this section. Any award by the court
in excess of the maximum liability limit must be automatically abated by operation of this section to the maximum limit of

the liability of the State or respite care provider.
