les compensations financières accordées par les sentences dans les procès pour faute professionnelle


Explanation:
In the US, these awards that are financial are the serious bone of contention between victims and the professional class. The Republican Party sided with medical doctors in some US states. So it was instrumental in capping the said awards by law in some US states on the grounds that they should not harm a doctor practice
to the point of resulting in bankruptcy.

agree  Jean-Claude Gouin
1 hr
  -> thanks

neutral  Francois Boye: Et le mot "lawsuit" ? Il ne figure pas dans votre traduction
2 hrs
  -> It's 100% implicit

agree  Daryo
8 hrs
  -> thanks

agree  Emanuela Galdelli: et si on ajouait " poursuites " ? Par exemple " accordées par des / dans le cadre de poursuites pour faute professionnelle " ? C'est trop long, peut-être.
15 hrs
  -> maybe, but "accordés" makes this implicit as damages are awarded by Courts (i.e. in lawsuits)
