Repealing certain limitations on noneconomic damages in civil actions for personal injury or wrongful death; and applying the Act prospectively.
AI Summary
This bill repeals the existing limitations on noneconomic damages, such as pain, suffering, and loss of consortium, in civil actions for personal injury or wrongful death in Maryland. The bill applies prospectively, meaning it will only affect causes of action arising on or after the effective date of October 1, 2024, and will not impact any prior cases. The current law placed caps on the amount of noneconomic damages that could be awarded, but this bill removes those limitations.
