Dillard v. Parkland Hospital

OPINION

Opinion By

Justice LAGARDE.

Thomas Dillard (Dillard), individually and as administrator of the estate of his deceased son, Fred, appeals the trial court’s January 12, 2001 order granting summary judgment in favor of Parkland Hospital.1 In four issues, Dillard contends the trial court erred in granting summary judgment because he pleaded a health care liability claim against Parkland under article 4590i, the Medical Liability and Insurance Improvement Act. See Tex.Rev.Civ. Stat. Ann. art. 4590i, § 1.03(a)(4) (Vernon Supp.2002). We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
