Are There Any Caps In Virginia on Medical Malpractice Damages?

A Virginia statute, Va. Code § 8.01-581.15, caps the damages you can recover in a medical malpractice claim. The cap applies to the combined economic, non-economic, and punitive damages. It depends on when the medical malpractice occurred. For instance, if it occurred between July 1, 2023, and June 30, 2024, the cap would be $2.60 million, while it would be $2.65 million if it occurred between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025.
