Waller is Leading the Effort to Continue Medical Malpractice Reform in Tennessee with Proposed Legislation to Help Protect Healthcare Providers
The Government Relations team at Waller Lansden Dortch & Davis, LLP is currently advocating two bills before the Tennessee Legislature that would continue medical malpractice reform in the State.
- House Bill 1285 / Senate Bill 819 addresses who can be named in a medical malpractice lawsuit and would protect individuals and entities who are not healthcare providers – such as landlords, passive investors, parent companies and uninvolved corporate affiliates – from allegations of medical negligence.
- House Bill 714 / Senate Bill 889 would make healthcare survey forms inadmissible as evidence in medical malpractice cases and would also limit the use of healthcare survey forms in advertising.
