The list of disputes that qualify as a “heath care liability claim” under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code Chapter 74 just got a little longer. Chapter 74 requires a plaintiff litigating such a claim to file an expert report early in the proceedings.

The background in Crystal Monson v. Allen Family First Clinic, et al. is as follows, according to the 5th Court: In 2009, Monson saw Dr. Chandana Reddy at the Allen Family First Clinic for treatment. When Monson left the office, she received a note regarding her ability to return to work. That note stated that Monson could return to work five days later.
