Sylvia Galvan v. Memorial Hermann Hospital System

At issue in this case is whether a visitor’s claim against a hospital arising from a slip and fall inside the hospital is a health care liability claim under the Texas Medical Liability Act. See Tex. Civ. PRAC. & Rem, Code ch. 74. Because the record does not demonstrate'a substantive relationship between the safety standards the visitor alleges the hospital breached and the provision of health care, we conclude that the claim is not a health care liability claim. We reverse the court of appeals’ judgment and remand the case to the trial court' for further proceedings.
