After completing my #UC Civil Litigation classes, I came across this incredibly informative post on comparative and contributory negligence laws across all 50 states. It’s a fantastic resource for anyone interested in understanding the nuances of negligence laws in different jurisdictions. #Justia One notable update is Nevada’s AB404, which took effect on January 1, 2024. This law significantly impacts medical malpractice cases by increasing the cap on noneconomic damages. Previously set at $350,000, the cap will now increase by $80,000 annually until it reaches $750,000 in 2028. Additionally, AB404 revises the statute of limitations for bringing an action against a healthcare provider and limits the attorney fees that can be charged in these cases. As a paralegal, I find these updates crucial for staying informed and providing the best support to my #parabuddies. Remember, this is for informational purposes only and not legal advice. #CivilLitigation #LegalUpdates #ParalegalLife #NevadaLaw #LegalEducation
