GOLDEN, Justice.
We are presented with the following certified question from the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming:
Does Wyoming recognize a claim for relief by minor children of a negligently injured parent for loss of parental consortium?
The question is answered affirmatively by our holding in Nulle v. Gillette-Campbell County Joint Powers Board, No. 89-251, slip op. ___ P.2d ___ (Wyo., Sept. 14, 1990). In Nulle this court examined the arguments for and against the recognition of a minor's claim for loss of parental consortium. We were persuaded by the analysis in the decisions that recognize minor children's claims and held the claim is cognizable in Wyoming:
We hold that minor children have an independent claim for loss of parental consortium resulting from injuries tortiously inflicted on their parent by a third person. We further hold that this independent claim should be joined with the injured parent's claim whenever feasible.
Nulle, at ___.
THOMAS, Justice, dissenting.
Consistently with the views that I expressed in Nulle v. Gillette-Campbell County Joint Powers Fire Board, ___ P.2d ___ (Wyo. 1990) (No. 89-251, decided September 14, 1990), I would answer the certified question presented in this case in the negative.
