One suit, one shared cap
Miss. Code §11-7-13 is often called Mississippi's “one-suit” statute because it combines what other states split into separate wrongful death and survival claims, with a single action for all beneficiaries. The Mississippi Supreme Court relied on that structure in Estate of Klaus v. Vicksburg Healthcare to hold that the noneconomic damages cap applies to all wrongful death beneficiaries in the aggregate rather than to each person.
The caps come from §11-1-60: $500,000 for malpractice and $1,000,000 for other civil actions. Klaus decided the malpractice cap; the $1,000,000 provision uses the same wording, so the same reasoning is expected to apply, but confirm that with an attorney. Fault follows pure comparative negligence, and each defendant pays only its own percentage.
