About This Log

Medical malpractice law changes constantly — state supreme courts strike down damage caps, legislatures amend statutes of limitations, The Joint Commission updates its never events list, and federal agencies revise FTCA procedures. This Content Review Log provides a transparent, verifiable record of when every page on this site was last checked against current law and who carried out that check.

Every content page on this site displays a LastReviewedBadge showing the most recent review date. This log provides the complete review history for every page — including details of any material changes made and the reason for those changes.

High-Priority Update Triggers

The following events trigger immediate out-of-cycle reviews of affected pages. We monitor these developments continuously:

State damage cap changes

Any state supreme court decision striking down or modifying a damage cap triggers immediate review of the damage-caps page, the affected state page, and all cross-references.

Statute of limitations amendments

Any state legislature amending a malpractice limitations period or repose period triggers immediate review of the statute-of-limitations page and the affected state page.

Expert witness rule changes

State supreme court decisions or legislative amendments affecting expert qualification requirements trigger review of the relevant state page and the expert-witnesses page.

FTCA procedural changes

Any amendment to the Federal Tort Claims Act or its implementing regulations triggers review of the federal-malpractice page.

The Joint Commission never events list

Additions or removals from the never events list trigger review of relevant type pages.

Major case decisions

US Supreme Court decisions or federal circuit decisions affecting malpractice law, causation standards, or expert admissibility trigger site-wide review.

Complete Review Record Policy

This log maintains a complete record of all material changes to every page — not just the most recent review. For pages with multiple review entries, the table will expand to show all entries chronologically, with the most recent first.

Each entry in the complete record includes:

  • The date of review
  • The name and credentials of the reviewer
  • Whether the review resulted in material changes
  • A brief description of any changes made and the reason (e.g., “Updated Texas non-economic cap amount following Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code amendment, effective September 1, 2025”)

This level of transparency reflects our commitment to YMYL content standards and to the readers who rely on this site for information about their legal rights.
