Minor Plaintiff May Recover Own Medical Expenses
John Day posted on Day on Torts about a new opinion from the Tennessee Court of Appeals confirming that a minor may recover for his or her own medical expenses (rather than requiring the victim's parents to pursue the claim for medical expenses.) The case, Palanki v. Vanderbilt University, is also worth a read on the issue of prejudgment interest in personal injury cases, including medical malpractice cases like Palanki.
