Mom of Toddler Who Died After Missouri Clinic Visit Awarded $1.8M
July 6, 2021
The family of a toddler who died just three hours after being misdiagnosed at a Branson, Mo., urgent care clinic is receiving $1.8 million in damages.
Jurors in Taney County recently awarded Kassie Mcatee nearly $3.2 million in damages in the June 2017 death of her 1-year-old son, Kyler George. But a judge reduced the amount because of a Missouri law that puts a fixed hard cap on medical malpractice damages, KOLR reports.
“This is a daily hell that I live, because somebody didn’t take the time to do their job,” Mcatee said.
