Description
Eugene R. Andreini appeals from two summary judgments dismissing his medical malpractice suit against Bruce Hultgren, M.D., an anesthesiologist; R. David Beck, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon; and Holy Cross Hospital. The dispute arose out of an operation that Andreini claims was negligently conducted and resulted in a compression paralysis of both his hands. In the first summary judgment, the trial court dismissed Andreinis claim against Hultgren because it found that his claim was time-barred by the two-year limitation period in the Utah Health Care Malpractice Act ("Act"). Utah Code Ann. Γ§ 78-14-4(1). Alternatively, the court reasoned that Andreini failed to request a prelitigation review within sixty days after serving Hultgren with a notice of intent to commence action, also required by the Act. Id. Γ§ 78-14-12(2). In the second summary judgment, the court dismissed Andreinis claims against Beck and Holy Cross Hospital because Andreini had signed a form releasing both the surgeon and the hospital from liability. We reverse both summary judgments.
