Mississippi Supreme Court Upholds Medical Malpractice Award

From a neighboring state, the Mississippi Supreme Court has upheld more than $4 million in compensatory damages in the case of woman who died from a lethal dose of painkillers after being misdiagnosed with pancreatic cancer. According to reports, Ersel Allen received massive doses of the painkiller Dilaudid while receiving care at Hospice Ministries. A subsequent autopsy showed that the woman never had cancer. The court did dismiss a $500,000 punitive damages award against the medical director of the hospice at the time of the incident.

Worth noting, the plaintiffs settled with the hospice during the trial for the maximum $1 million in insurance coverage it carried.
