Are there caps on the amount that can be recovered against a nursing home?

 

A: Nursing homes in Virginia are protected by Virginia's medical malpractice cap. The cap means that no matter how egregious the nursing homes abuse and neglect of its resident, the nursing home can not be held accountable for more than $1.85 million dollars. On July 1 of each year the cap will rise by $50,000 up to a maximum of $2,000,000. The attorneys at Williamson & Lavecchia, LC believe that caps only serve to protect wrongdoers and deny victims fair compensation for their losses.
