Estate of Maddison Desela v. Prescott Unified

Summary

The court held that both an injured minor and the minor's parents may recover pre-majority medical expenses, subject to a prohibition on double recovery. It overruled the prior common-law rule limiting that right to parents and concluded that the Estate's claim was timely because it was filed within one year after Maddison turned eighteen. The court vacated the court of appeals' opinion, reversed the superior court's dismissal, and remanded for further proceedings.
