Tort Reform Won't Happen This Legislative Session

Cheyenne – Wyoming is staying on the list of those states that do not want to cap damages on medical malpractice cases. The House and Senate Wednesday failed to give the needed 2/3 support to bills that would have asked the voters to support a constitutional change, which would have allowed legislators to cap non-economic damages in such cases. Wyoming Public Radio's Bob Beck reports the concept was supported by medical providers who are concerned about the rising cost of medical malpractice insurance.
