The Virginia Trial Lawyers Association and the Medical Society of Virginia have agreed that the cap on a medical malpractice award should be increased. Currently, the cap is $2 Million. The agreement calls for the cap to be increased $50,000 a year over 20 years. The limit on a medical malpractice award would then be $3 Million. Of course, it is up to the General Assembly to enact legislation that codifies the agreement.
