Easton Darris Mullis v. State

This is a medical malpractice case, brought pursuant to the third-party provisions of the Workmens Compensation Act (Ala. Code 1975, § 25-5-11). The plaintiff appeals from a holding that a general release executed by her and her husband upon the settlement of the now-deceased husbands workmens compensation claim against his employer discharged the unnamed third-party tort-feasor. We reverse.
