From CNN:
CONNIE CHUNG, CNN: Well, let’s bring in your lawyer now. Mr. Breakstone, tell us, you are not suing the hospital. Why not?
MARC BREAKSTONE, ATTORNEY FOR ALGERI: Well, in Massachusetts, we have an antiquated law called the charitable immunity cap which limits damages to a charitable institution, like Mount Auburn Hospital, to $20,000.
And Dr. Arndt has $5 million of insurance coverage and really bears full responsibility for the damage done to Mr. Algeri, which is a significant permanent nerve injury.
