Less than one year ago, this court rejected the first MICRA challenge, upholding the periodic payment provision. opn.

At the same time, the court declined to order that the award for future lost wages or noneconomic damages be paid periodically pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 667.7, determining that the statute was not "mandatory" and that "under the unique facts and circumstances of this case" a periodic payment award of such damages would "defeat[] rather than promote[]" the purpose of section 667.7. ), The proponents of section 3333.1 have suggested that it serves two purposes. at p. Failure to fulfill either of these duties is negligence. 161.) Hence, the rule "will not usually give him [38 Cal.3d 177] 'double recovery,' but partially provides a somewhat closer approximation to full compensation for his injuries." Thus, in sum, we conclude that none of the defendant's contentions call for a reversal of the judgment. 862.) As the United States Supreme Court observed in upholding the provisions of the Price-Anderson Act which placed a dollar limit on total liability that would be incurred by a defendant in the event of a nuclear accident: "'It should be emphasized that it is collecting a judgment, not filing a lawsuit, that counts.

Maurer, supra, 424 A.2d at pages 835-836, the New Hampshire Supreme Court unanimously overturned a kindred provision, [38 Cal.3d 178] reasoning that it "arbitrarily and unreasonably discriminate[d] in favor of the class of health care providers." 2. Section 3333.2, like the sections involved in American Bank, Barme and Roa, is, of course, one of the provisions which made changes in existing tort rules in an attempt to reduce the cost of medical malpractice litigation, and thereby restrain the increase in medical malpractice insurance premiums. But while the instruction was erroneous, it is not reasonably probable that the error affected the judgment in this case. 13.) As the court explained in Dragovich v. Slosson (1952) 110 Cal.App.2d 370, 371 [242 P.2d 945]: "'Since a defendant or a party is not entitled to a jury composed of any particular jurors, the court may of its own motion discharge a qualified juror without committing any error, provided there is finally selected a jury composed of qualified and competent persons.'" at p. fn.

For a child who has been paralyzed from the neck down, the only compensation for a lifetime without play comes from noneconomic damages. Although reasonable persons can certainly disagree as to the wisdom of this provision, fn. In addition, it is argued that no immediate cost or premium savings will be generated by a ceiling on non-economic losses because questions regarding the constitutionality of such statutes would have to be finally resolved before the insurance companies would reflect any potential savings in their rates; and because the ceiling might prove to be the norm." (See Hrnjak [38 Cal.3d 176] v. Graymar, Inc. (1971) 4 Cal.3d 725, 729 [484 P.2d 599, 47 A.L.R.3d 224]; see generally, Schwartz, The Collateral-Source Rule (1961) 41 B.U.L.Rev.

(On the determination of the prospective length of life, see Comment e.)

That such negligence was a proximate cause of injury to the plaintiff. Where the defendant elects to introduce such evidence, the plaintiff may introduce evidence of any amount which the plaintiff has paid or contributed to secure his right to any insurance benefits concerning which the defendant has introduced evidence. Further, even if the trial court did err in this regard, the error clearly would not warrant reversal. The court demanded not only that the enactment might tend to serve some conceivable legislative purpose, but also that each classification bear a fair and substantial relationship to a legitimate purpose. So long as the measure is rationally related to a legitimate state interest, policy determinations as to the need for, and the desirability of, the enactment are for the Legislature."

From his initial examination of plaintiff Dr. Oliver also believed that plaintiff's problem was of muscular origin, but, after administering some pain medication, he directed that an electrocardiogram (EKG) be performed.

Although the trial court rejected plaintiff's constitutional challenge to the periodic payment provision a conclusion consistent with our recent decision in American Bank it nonetheless denied defendant's request, interpreting section 667.7 as affording a trial court discretion in determining whether to enter a periodic payment judgment and concluding that on the facts of this case the legislative purpose of section 667.7 "would be defeated rather than promoted by ordering periodic payments rather than a lump sum award." Richard S. Isaacs, MD, FACS In upholding the section's constitutionality, [38 Cal.3d 166] we explained that a collateral source has no vested due process right to subrogation and that section 3333.1, subdivision (b) is rationally related to the purposes of MICRA since it reduces the costs imposed on medical malpractice defendants by shifting some of the costs in the area to other insurers.

Furthermore, as one amicus suggests, the Legislature may have felt that the fixed $250,000 limit would promote settlements by eliminating "the unknown possibility of phenomenal awards for pain and suffering that can make litigation worth the gamble." fn. 364.) Defendant never suggested to the jury that its verdict should be affected by whether it found only Dr. Redding, and not Nurse Welch, to have been negligent. For example, just before reading the instructions on causation, the court read the following instructions: "A plaintiff who was injured as a proximate result of some negligent conduct on the part of a defendant is entitled to recover compensation for such injury from that defendant. ), FN 10.

Thoughtful jurists and legal scholars have for some time raised serious questions as to the wisdom of awarding damages for pain and suffering in any negligence case, noting, inter alia, the inherent difficulties in placing a monetary value on such losses, the fact that money damages are at best only imperfect compensation for such intangible injuries and that such damages are generally passed on to, and borne by, innocent consumers. 1972) 480 S.W.2d 868, 871-874 [69 A.L.R.3d 1286] [members of consumer" electrical cooperative]; Weatherbee v.
