Skilled Healthcare faces over $671 million in damages
Skilled Healthcare Inc. faces payments of over $671 million in damages awarded by a California jury in a more than four-year-old lawsuit over alleged violations at 22 of its nursing facilities.
A bipartisan malpractice reform bill just introduced in the House would cap non-economic damages at $250,000, mirroring successful laws in California and Texas, according to a release by the AMA.
