Salty Medical Bills? Applying Haygood v. de Escabedo to Admiralty Cases in Texas

Texas Lawyer

August 15, 2011

It has been said that legal issues of an admiralty and maritime nature have a certain "saltiness" about them, write Josh N. Bowlin and F. Daniel Knight. At first glance, the Texas Supreme Court's July 1 decision in Haygood v. de Escabedo has little in the way of salty flavor, as it is an appeal of a car wreck case. Admiralty practitioners should be cognizant of this opinion, however, as it has far-reaching impact upon admiralty personal-injury cases filed in Texas state courts.
