Bill > SB462

This bill raises the cap on damages for wrongful death loss of consortium claims. Specifically, it increases the cap from $150,000 to $500,000 for damages awarded to a surviving spouse for the loss of the comfort, society, and companionship of the deceased. Additionally, it increases the cap from $50,000 to $300,000 per individual claimant for damages awarded to the minor child or children of the deceased for the loss of familial relationship. The bill is expected to have an indeterminable increase in revenue and expenditures for the state, counties, and local governments due to the potential impact on insurance markets and premiums.
