Texas Supreme Court December 17, 2010, 08-0262 (Yamada v. Friend)

combined-opinion

Justice JOHNSON

delivered the opinion of the Court.

In this appeal we address whether claims against a health care provider based on one set of underlying facts can be brought as both health care liability claims subject to the Texas Medical Liability Act (TMLA) and ordinary negligence claims not subject to the TMLA. We hold that they cannot.
