📖 Explicación Simple
Si alguien se lastima por culpa del gobierno, hay un límite en cuánto puede recibir de dinero. Por ejemplo, si te lastimas, el máximo que puedes obtener es $250,000 por persona.
💡 Es como si el gobierno fuera un restaurante que solo puede reembolsarte hasta cierta cantidad si tu comida no es buena. No importa cuánto gastaste, solo te devuelven hasta un tope.
🎯 Ejemplo Práctico
Imagina que Juan se lastima en un parque que pertenece a la ciudad porque hay un hoyo en el suelo. Según la ley, Juan solo podrá recibir hasta $100,000 por los daños que sufrió, aunque sus gastos médicos sean mayores.
