tex · 1990 · cited in 6 Texas opinions naming this issue, 2008–2019
2 sentences

2019The doctrine of res ipsa loquitor is a “rule of evidence by which negligence may be inferred by the injury; it is not a separate cause of action from negligence.” Haddock v. Ampsiger, 793 S.W.2d 948, 950 (Tex. 1990).

2014Citing a single case, Haddock v. Arnspiger, 793 S.W.2d 948, 951 (Tex.1990), Osuna asserts “it is well settled that even in instances where the Court determines that a claim is one classified as a HCLC, an expert is not needed to ‘establish a breach of a medical duty where the departure is plainly within the common knowledge of laymen.’ ” The case relied upon by Osuna concerns the doctrine of res ipsa loquitor.
