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.
