The Wisconsin Senate has approved a bill that would allow parents of adult children to sue medical providers for pain and suffering if their children died as a result of medical negligence, according to a report by the Chicago Tribune.
The bill overturns Wisconsin Supreme Court decisions from 1994 and 2000 that barred parents of adult aged children from filing claims for pain and suffering due to medical negligence, according to the report.
The bill will now move to the state Assembly for a vote before becoming law.
