Texas Supreme Court

Members Mutual Insurance Company, Petitioner v. Hermann Hospital, Respondent

February 15, 198427 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 239

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that proceeds from uninsured/underinsured motorists coverage are not subject to a statutory hospital lien under Art. 5506a. The Court reasoned that such coverage does not qualify as "public liability insurance" and therefore reversed the trial court and Court of Appeals judgments granting the lien.
