Lisa Beth Rose, Petitioners v. Doctors Hospital, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the damages caps in the Medical Liability Act are constitutional when applied to wrongful‑death actions, that the caps are calculated on a per‑defendant basis, and that a remittitur filed with a reservation of the right to appeal is not defective. The court affirmed the judgment for the Roses and reversed the lower court only as to the remand for a new trial.
