In a case stemming from a woman’s lung-cancer death, an appeals court urged the Florida Supreme Court to look again at whether the state has a medical-malpractice insurance “crisis” that justifies limiting damages in certain lawsuits.

The move by a panel of the Second District Court of Appeal came in a Lee County lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of a state law that prevented the adult children of Ramona Reyes from recovering noneconomic damages, commonly known as pain and suffering damages, in her death.
