Holding

In this wrongful death case, we must determine whether the Circuit Court of Prince William County erred by striking the evidence supporting a claim for punitive damages against a physician who repeatedly prescribed narcotic pain medication to a patient. Under the particular factual scenario presented, we reverse the circuit court’s decision and remand the case to the circuit court for further proceedings.
