Mississippi Supreme Court

National Health Insurance Company v. Daphne Lever

October 9, 2025

Summary

The Court held that venue was proper in Madison County because the medical treatment in Hinds County was not an event caused by the insurer that caused the insurance-related injury alleged in the complaint. It reversed the denial of the insurer's motion to transfer venue and remanded for further proceedings. The Court also overruled an earlier venue decision to the extent it permitted venue without identifying a defendant-caused, injury-causing event in the selected county.
