Introduced by: William M. Stanley, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)
Action for expenses for infant's injury; statute of limitations. Provides that, in actions that accrue on or after July 1, 2013, the past and future expenses of curing or attempting to cure an infant from a personal injury that the infant's parent or guardian has paid or is personally obligated to pay are damages recoverable by the infant in an action against the tort-feasor who caused the infant's injuries. The infant's parent or guardian who has paid or is personally obligated to pay such expenses has a lien and right of reimbursement against any recovery of the infant. Currently, the infant's parent or guardian may maintain a separate action against the tort-feasor for such expenses. The bill also provides that an infant's claim for medical expenses that accrues on or after July 1, 2013, shall be brought within the limitations period applicable to the infant's cause of action. Currently, such action must be brought within five years from the time the action accrued. The bill is identical to HB 1433.
