Columbia Rio Grande Healthcare, L.p. D/b/a Rio Grande Regional Hospital, Petitioner v. Alice H. Hawley and James A…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the trial court abused its discretion by refusing jury instructions on the independent‑contractor status of the pathologist and on the loss‑of‑chance doctrine, reversed the judgment of the Court of Appeals and remanded for a new trial; it found no error in refusing a new‑and‑independent‑cause instruction.
