Supreme Court of Iowa

Alexandria M. Anderson

Summary

The Iowa Supreme Court held that the district court correctly dismissed the parents' individual consortium claims for failure to exhaust administrative remedies, erred in dismissing the estate's wrongful‑death claim because the administrator's pre‑appointment filing was ratifiable, and affirmed the lower court's refusal to allow new evidence, thus affirming in part, reversing in part, and remanding for further proceedings.
