: Bodily Injury BlogNoneconomic Damages Cap Declared Unconstitutional by Ga. Supreme Court
By Edward Bills
The cap on noneconomic damages in Georgia was unanimously struck down by the Georgia Supreme Court, who stated in their opinion that caps are ?violative of the right to trial by jury.? The issue was brought before the court in a case involving a woman whose face was permanently disfigured after a face-lift operation.
