Last October, Milwaukee County Circuit Court judge refused to apply the state’s cap on noneconomic (pain and suffering) damages in case where woman had to have all four limbs amputated due to an infection that went untreated, despite showing up at the emergency room with high fever and severe abdominal pain. Alabama is decades ahead of this trend, however. That law, which is still on the books, limits an award of noneconomic damages to $400,000. Like the Milwaukee and Florida courts, our high court questioned the reality of “crisis” in health care.
