Noemi Guevara, Petitioner v. Corazon Labao Ferrer, an Heir & Assignee of Arturo Labao, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that expert medical testimony is required to prove causation for complex medical expenses unless lay evidence shows the conditions and causal relationship are within common knowledge, and reversed and remanded the appellate court’s judgment because only lay evidence was offered for the over $1 million in expenses.
