Columbia Valley Healthcare System, L.p. D/b/a Valley Regional Medical Center, Petitioner v. Maria Zamarripa, As…

June 9, 201760 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 1189

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded because the plaintiff's expert reports failed to explain the causal relationship between the defendants' alleged breaches and the patient’s death, and it held that expert reports must address proximate cause and that interlocutory appeals are permitted when such reports are timely but deficient.
