Texas Supreme Court

Certified Ems, Inc. D/b/a Cpns Staffing, Petitioner v. Cherie Potts, Respondent

February 15, 201356 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 298

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals, holding that a claimant need not serve an expert report addressing every pleaded liability theory in a health‑care liability claim; an expert report that adequately addresses at least one liability theory satisfies the statutory requirement and the case may proceed. The Court reasoned that the Texas Medical Liability Act’s language, legislative intent, and practical considerations support this rule.
