Establishes provisions relating to payments for tort liability to insurers

HB 952 prevents double recovery in tort cases by limiting plaintiffs' ability to claim damages already paid by a defendant or their insurer. If a defendant or insurer pays a plaintiff's special damages (like medical bills) before trial, those amounts become non-recoverable from the defendant. The bill also blocks claims for damages reimbursed to a plaintiff's insurer for deductibles or paid claims, avoiding duplicate payments from both the insurer and defendant. It was defeated in the House on April 22, 2025, with 37 votes in favor and 107 against. The bill directly affects defendants, insurers, and plaintiffs in personal injury or tort litigation involving insurance coverage.
