Case Details
Discussion of Tennessee's Civil Justice Act of 2011, which caps non-economic damages at $750,000 in personal injury cases, highlighted by a deadly bus crash in Chattanooga that killed six children.
Additional Notes
The bus company offered to pay for funerals, counseling, medical bills, and travel for six months for survivors, but the article questions if this is enough given the $750,000 cap on non-economic damages for each child's death.
