However, this shift in transportation preferences has come with a stark reality check: an alarming surge in auto versus motorcycle accidents.

This cap has never been adjusted for inflation which would be well over $1,000,000.00 in 2022. Beginning in 2023, however, the cap for non-economic damages will be increased to $350,000, then adjusted annually. This is terrific news for injured victims at the hands of negligent health care providers.
