Title Supreme Court: Madeja vs. Caro

Case: G.R. No. L-51183

Decision Date: Dec 21, 1983

Carmen L. Madeja filed a civil case for damages against Dr. Eva Japzon over her husband's death during surgery, independent of the pending criminal case for reckless imprudence. The Supreme Court ruled the civil action could proceed separately under Article 33 of the Civil Code, as "physical injuries" includes death from negligence.
