Medical malpractice reform

Medical malpractice reform involves changes to laws and policies that affect how medical errors are addressed legally. The goal is to balance protecting patients' rights to seek fair compensation with reducing unnecessary or excessive lawsuits that can lead to higher healthcare costs. Reforms may include limits on damages, shorter statutes of limitations, or alternative dispute resolutions. These changes aim to create a fair system that encourages accountability, improves patient safety, and helps keep healthcare fees manageable for everyone.
