Consumer Watchdog Alert Advocates for SB 29 to Uphold Medical Negligence Survivors' Rights, Refutes Claims of Higher Costs

Consumer Alert Video: A new video from Consumer Watchdog features a mother discussing her son's death due to medical negligence and advocates for SB 29, which allows survivors to collect damages for pre-death pain and suffering.

Legislative Progress: SB 29 has passed the California Senate and is currently awaiting action in the Assembly Appropriations Committee, extending survivors' rights until 2030.

Debunking Myths: The video counters claims that allowing compensation for pre-death suffering will increase medical malpractice costs, showing that malpractice claims and premiums have not risen since the law was changed in 2022.

Call to Action: The mother urges support for SB 29, emphasizing that the bill benefits patients without imposing additional costs on healthcare providers.
