Re: Noonkester v. State Fund and C&S Const. Inc. [8/27/04] 2004 MTWCC 61 A parent who has not been appointed the minor's legal guardian cannot waive the minor's potential tort remedies by seeking and obtaining workers' compensation benefits on his behalf. Where a parent has sought and obtained workers' compensation benefits, the minor may repudiate the claim upon becoming an adult.
