Lezlea Ross, Petitioner v. St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the visitor's slip‑and‑fall claim is not a health‑care liability claim under the Texas Medical Liability Act because the alleged safety‑standard breach bears no substantive relationship to the provision of health care, and it also held that the appellant did not waive the issue and that the Court has jurisdiction. The Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for further proceedings.
