SAN JUAN -- The legislative bill aimed at creating a Medical Malpractice Law doesn’t pay attention to all aspects related to the controversy, said Oscar Rodriguez, president of the Puerto Rico Medical Association. Rodriguez said in published reports that the bill doesn’t establish statutes of limitations on malpractice lawsuits a person may file against a healthcare provider, nor does it establish a cap on fees for lawyers representing plaintiffs in malpractice suits.
