Bowie Memorial Hospital v. Wright green

1 sentence

2013The court concluded that this statement was inadequate to address causation; the court stated that “by not fleshing out how appellee’s failure to monitor Gray’s extremities caused her injury, the report does not convincingly tie the alleged departure from the standard of care to specific facts of the case.” Id. at 860 (citing Bowie Mem’l Hosp., 79 S.W.3d at 53 ). 8 The the December 21, 2012 report’s causal analysis is similarly deficient.

1995The Court's approach is not without precedent, see Lear Siegler, Inc. v. Perez, 819 S.W.2d 470 (Tex.1991); however, I believe this expansive view of cause-in-fact obscures a proper causal analysis, and that this case presents an opportunity to clarify that analysis.
