“We are obviously pleased; a lot of hard work went into drafting and passing this statute that has been so helpful in giving businesses some certainty and yet another reason to bring jobs to Tennessee. Successful plaintiffs still get 100% of their economic damages like lost wages and medical expenses. The caps address the subjectivity, risk, uncertainty, and inconsistency associated with awards of noneconomic damages like pain and suffering.
