Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is there a cap on damages that may be collected against adult homes?
A: The Virginia Supreme Court held in the decision of Commercial Distributors v. Blankenship, 240 Va. 382, 397 S.E.2d 840 (1990) that assisted living facilities are not subject to Virginia’s medical malpractice cap. Therefore, under current interpretation of the law there is no cap on compensatory damages.
