Implementation risks
| Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| State constitutional right-to-jury challenges strike down the pilot. | Opt-in pilots only in states whose courts have upheld administrative compensation; patients may elect court within 60 days. |
| Claim volume rises sharply once compensation is easier, raising costs. | Avoidable-injury standard with schedule-based awards and an annual budget cap per pilot. |
