Kindred Healthcare, Inc. v. Morales

OPINION

Jane Bland, Justice

In this appeal from the denial of a motion to dismiss for lack of a medical expert report, the medical providers contend that the trial court erred in concluding that the record does not demonstrate a health care liability claim subject to the Texas Medical Liability Act’s expert report requirements. See Tex. Civ. Prac. &. Rem. Code Ann. § 74.351(a) (West Supp.2015). Because.we agree that the claim alleged is one for premises liability or general negligence and is not a health care liability claim, we affirm the trial court’s order denying the motion to dismiss.
