Ritter Wrongful Death Cases Raises Interesting Questions

By Dan Deuterman

ADVERTISEMENTS

A jury this weekend ruled that two ER doctors who treated actor John Ritter after he collapsed on the set of his sitcom weren't at fault in his death.

Ritter's family had filed a multimillion dollar wrongful death lawsuit against the physicians, who treated Ritter for a heart attack, not the torn aorta he had. The hospital where he was treated has already settled with the family of the Emmy Award-winning actor, best known for "Three's Company" and "Eight Simple Rules for Dating my Teenage Daughter."

Certainly, there's been some debate about wheter this jury made the right decision. And I'm sure that Ritter's family will never feel at peace with this decision or his death. In fact, a lot of families feel that way.

More often than we'd probably all like to believe, people die as a result of some medical "accident." But are all medical accidents grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit?
