Pennsylvania Supreme Court Affirms $2 Million Verdict In Medical Negligence Suit

(November 27, 2017, 1:53 PM EST) -- HARRISBURG, Pa. — The Pennsylvania Supreme Court in a Nov. 22 divided opinion affirmed a $2 million verdict in a medical negligence suit after finding that a man who filed a survival action under Medical Care Availability and Reduction of Error Act (MCARE) against a hospital and a nursing home filed suit within the two-year statute of limitations under the act because the statute of limitations begins at the time of death and not the injury (Robert Dubose v. Willowcrest Nursing Home, et al., No. 21 EAP 2016, Pa. Sup. 2017 Pa. LEXIS 3103)....
