Slayer statute: Lindsay Clancy may not be able to win a lawsuit
Generally speaking, you can’t recover for the deaths of people when you caused their deaths. That is the issue that Lindsay Clancy May face in her lawsuit against her medical providers. Of course her argument may be unlikely is that she killed her children because of the lack of medical care she received despite seeking out that medical care so it is possible that the so-called slayer statute can be negated. And of course, this is depending upon how Massachusetts construes this particular statute. What may add a wrinkle to it is that there’s been no definitive determination in criminal court even though uses a much lower standard.
