Medical malpractice caps are statutory limits on the amount of compensation a plaintiff can be awarded for medical malpractice. Oklahoma imposes a $500,000 cap on non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases, with very few exceptions. Non-economic damages include loss of companionship, permanent disability, pain and suffering, and more. By capping these damages, the law essentially places an arbitrary ceiling on the value of human suffering. https://bit.ly/4uk207I

The most underreported e-bike story isn't the crashes. It's the battery fires caused by exploding lithium-ion batteries. They happen in apartments, storage rooms, and garages, where the bikes are charging overnight. These fires burn at extremely high temperatures and are very difficult to extinguish once they start.

One detail that tends to get lost in the e-bike safety conversation: the median age of injured riders is significantly higher than that of traditional cyclists, suggesting that many older adults are taking on vehicles capable of 20 to 28 mph without fully accounting for how different that experience is from riding a conventional bike.
