After nearly 50 years, patients in California now have long-awaited access to essential compensation rights. These are rights other Americans have had in medical malpractice cases for decades.
In May of 2022, Assembly Bill 35 (AB 35) passed in California, updating the compensation limit for injured medical patients from an amount set in 1975. The adjustments may open up vital resources for the injured, their families, and those who have lost a loved one to wrongful death.
The attorneys at Vaage Law welcome these changes, as they vastly improve the potential outcomes for our medical malpractice clients, and have the ability to improve the quality of health care throughout the entire state.
