Arizona Supreme Court
Estate of Maddison Alexis Desela, a Protected Person, Plaintiff/appellant v. Prescott Unified School District No…
January 18, 2011226 Ariz. 387
Summary
The court held that both an injured minor and the minor's parents may recover premajority medical expenses, subject to a prohibition on double recovery. It overruled the prior common-law rule assigning that claim exclusively to parents and concluded that the minor's action was timely under the applicable disability and public-entity limitation statutes. The court vacated the court of appeals' opinion, reversed the superior court's dismissal, and remanded for further proceedings.
