Family Denied Damages in Prisoner’s Death
Posted on May 9, 2010 12:45pm PDT
The family of an illegal immigrant who died from penile cancer will not be entitled to damages from federal medical officials despite the fact that the man pleaded for treatment for at least 11 months. The court has ruled that U.S. public Health Service employees are protected from civil rights suits such as this one. Now, the family does have the option to sue against the federal government for medical malpractice, but that is limited to $250,000 in damages.
