What factors will the court consider when determining whether to grant a multiplier in a medical malpractice case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Sonoma Land Trust v. Thompson, 278 Cal.Rptr.3d 324, 63 Cal.App.5th 978 (Cal. App. 2021):

The court may apply a multiplier based on contingent risk, exceptional skill, or numerous other factors. (See Ketchum , supra , 24 Cal.4th at pp. 1132-1134, 1138-1139, 104 Cal.Rptr.2d 377, 17 P.3d 735.) There is no magic formula; any one factor may justify an enhancement. ( Krumme v. Mercury Ins. Co. (2004) 123 Cal.App.4th 924, 947, 20 Cal.Rptr.3d 485.)
