Leighton Durham tells Texas Lawyer how the cow ate the proverbial cabbage!

Leighton Durham was interviewed by John Council of Texas Lawyer regarding opposing counsel’s unusual motion to dismiss filed in a case in which he and Dean Boyd represent a plaintiff injured when he ran into a cow that escaped from the defendant’s property.  Because the owner of the cow is a retired doctor, opposing counsel moved to declare the case a health care liability case and dismiss it for failing to comply with the expert report requirements of the health care liability statute.  You can read the Texas Lawyer article and Leighton’s comments here (“How is Hitting A Cow Med Mal“), and you can read the Dallas Court of Appeals opinion denying the opposing counsel mandamus relief here.
