Description
DeBRULER, J. This case comes to this Court on petition to transfer from the First District of the Court of Appeals. Community Hospital of Anderson and Madison County et al. v. McKnight et al. (1985), Ind. App., 482 N.E.2d. 280. The Court of Appeals decided adversely to plaintiffs-appellees' position, holding that in order for plaintiffs to prosecute a claim for death under the Medical Malpractice Act, I.C. § 16-9.5-1-1 et seq., they must first comply with the requirements of the Wrongful Death Statute, I.C. § 34-1-12, chief among which is that a personal representative appointed by a court must commence the wrongful death action within two years of decedent's death. We grant transfer to determine the relationship between the Medical Malpractice Act, I.C § 16-9.5-1-1 et seq., and the Wrongful Death Statute, I.C. § 34-1-1-2.
