Summary
This legislation seeks to resolve certain significant problems that have arisen in the context of the settlement of personal injury and wrongful death actions. In addition, there is an exception in the treatment of collateral sources in tort actions in that, unlike private employers and all other defendants, public employers, when sued by their employees, are not entitled to have awards for lost future earnings offset by collateral sources of compensation, such as an acci- dent disability pension, that the plaintiff will receive to replace those same lost earnings.
Title
Provides for the equal treatment of public and private defendants when considering the impact of collateral source payments in tort claims for personal injury, property damage or wrongful death; protects parties to the settlement of tort claims from certain unwarranted liens, reimbursements and subrogation claims.
