Wyomissing, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/19/2019 -- On February 5, 2019, the members of the Pennsylvania State Senate passed Senate Resolution 20 by a vote of 31-18. The resolution is concerned with conducting a full study of the constitutionality of the MCARE Act, which was established in 2002. For victims of medical malpractice in need of injury law attorneys in Reading, PA, this potential change may have significant benefits for their filed lawsuits.
The Medical Care Availability and Reduction of Error Act was signed into law in 2002 and has since required all participating hospitals and providers to carry a minimum amount of $500,000 to cover medical malpractice claims. Since its establishment, there has been much debate as to which state governing body has the authority to alter the Act.
The Pennsylvania Legislative Budget & Finance Committee is now set to conduct a full study of the impacts of the MCARE Act on the court venues in which medical malpractice suits are filed. The committee is set to hold at least one public hearing regarding the MCARE Act, its venue guidelines, and rule standards, which affect the state of Pennsylvania by the beginning of the 2020 calendar year.
