Supreme Court of Texas
Marks v. St. Luke's Episcopal Hosp., 07-0783
In plaintiff's suit against a hospital, claiming that its negligence contributed to cause his fall from a hospital bed, court of appeals' affirmance of trial court's dismissal of the suit is affirmed where: 1) because the provision of a safe hospital bed was an inseparable part of the health care services provided during plaintiff's convalescence from back surgery, his cause of action for injuries allegedly caused by the unsafe bed is a health care liability claim under article 4590i; and 2) trial court did not abuse its discretion in refusing plaintiff's request for additional time to file the requisite expert report.
