Description
LaVerne Armijo (plaintiff) brought this action against the Regents of the University of New Mexico and Dr. Willis Kephart (defendants), alleging medical malpractice, misrepresentation, and fraudulent concealment. Her claims arise from circumstances surrounding the birth and death of her infant son. Suit was brought on behalf of the infant, for his pain, suffering, and loss of life and on behalf of plaintiff, for her own pain, suffering, and loss of the companionship of her son. The trial court concluded that the suit was barred by the applicable statute of limitations and granted summary judgment in favor of defendants. Plaintiff appealed to the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals reversed the trial court on the infants cause of action and affirmed on the plaintiffs cause of action. We granted both plaintiffs and defendants petitions for writ of certiorari. We subsequently quashed plaintiffs petition as having been improvidently granted, 704 P.2d 431. In this opinion we review only the question raised in defendants petition concerning the infants cause of action. We reverse the Court of Appeals and affirm the trial court on this issue only.
