Tankersley v. Parkview Hospital, Inc.

OPINION

NAJAM, Judge.

STATEMENT OF THE CASE

Kevin C. Tankersley appeals the trial court's grant of partial summary judgment 1 in favor of Parkview Hospital, Inc. ("Parkview") on Parkview's claim to en-foree a hospital lien. The following issue is dispositive of our review:

Whether the trial court erred as a matter of law when it found that Tankers-ley, an attorney, was liable under the Indiana Hospital Lien Act ("Act")2 for his client's medical expenses despite the fact that Parkview did not send notice of the lien to Tankersley,3 and he did not otherwise receive actual notice.

We reverse.
