LA SB108

Reduces the "cost of procurement" award for medical expenses from 40% to 30% of the difference between the amount billed and the amount actually paid by health insurers or Medicare to contracted providers

Removes the $10,000 minimum threshold for jury trials in civil actions, effectively expanding jury trial availability to all delictual and quasi-delictual actions regardless of amount in controversy

Reduces the required cash deposit for jury trials in cases under $50,000 from $5,000 to $4,000

Establishes that lack of prior medical history of an illness, injury, or condition does not create a presumption that the condition was caused by the incident being litigated (does not apply to workers' compensation claims)

Makes collateral source payment information discoverable before trial while maintaining the prohibition on disclosing such information to juries, and exempts medical payments coverage under auto liability insurance from the recoverable medical expenses limitations
