Healthcare Liability - As enacted, provides that in health care liability actions, the common law collateral source rule is abrogated and the damages awarded may include, in addition to others, certain actual economic losses suffered by the claimant. - Amends TCA Title 29, Chapter 26.
This bill modifies Tennessee's healthcare liability laws by changing the deadline for submitting certain documents from three business days to five business days. The change directly affects medical malpractice cases and the administrative processes involved in filing claims. By extending the timeframe, the legislation aims to provide a slightly longer period for parties to comply with specific procedural requirements before a case proceeds. This adjustment is a minor procedural update intended to streamline the handling of these legal actions without altering the core rules of liability or damages.
