Friends thought it was a joke when Amarillo solo Philip Russ filed a motion to dismiss a personal injury case for the most Texas of reasons.
Russ is arguing that when a plaintiff hit several loose cows while traveling on a high plains road, it was a health care liability claim. Why? Because Russ’ defendant cattle-owning client is a retired doctor.
