Md. Lawmakers debate HB113, push for better compensation

In an article published by 47 ABC, the debate over House Bill 113 and it’s effects on noneconomic damages is discussed.

“In Maryland, if you file a lawsuit for pain and suffering, or a wrongful death, the most compensation you can expect to receive is $950,000.

But Delegate Natalie Ziegler is pushing back, by introducing House Bill 113.

“The law, to me, is really, really unfair. It puts our legislative finger on the scale for the perpetrator and not the victim,” said Del. Ziegler.

If signed into law, the bill would repeal the current cap on non-economic damages and instead allow the judiciary system to determine how much someone is owed in a suit.”
