Georgia has undergone significant changes, largely influenced by the enactment of tort reform legislation. These reforms, aimed at reducing the number of frivolous lawsuits and capping damages awarded in medical malpractice cases, have sparked intense debate among legal professionals, medical practitioners, and patients alike. Proponents of tort reform argue that these changes are necessary to prevent excessive litigation and to protect healthcare providers from exorbitant insurance premiums, which can be driven up by large malpractice payouts. They argue that by capping damages and making it more difficult to bring lawsuit, tort reform can lead to lack of accountability among healthcare providers.
