Description
In this medical-malpractice case we determine the standards for reviewing an expert report under section 13.01 of the Medical Liability and Insurance Improvement Act. Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. Ann. art. 4590i, § 13.01. The trial court dismissed the Palacioses medical-malpractice claims against American Transitional Care Centers, Inc., d/b/a American Transitional Hospital, because it determined that the Palacioses expert report did not show a good-faith effort to provide a fair summary of the experts opinions about the standard of care, breach, and causation, as required by section 13.01. See id. § 13.01(d), (e), (l), (r)(6). The court of appeals, after evaluating the trial courts decision as it would a summary-judgment decision, reversed, holding that the report did meet the statutory requirements. 4 S.W.3d 857, 860.
