Gulf Coast Center v. Curry, No. 01-18-00665-CV, 2020 WL 5414983 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Sept. 10, 2020, pet. filed) (mem. op.).

Affirming $216,000 judgment following a jury trial for injuries suffered when plaintiff was struck by a community center van. The court rejected the center’s challenge to the jury’s damage awards for medical expenses and physical impairment, and also rejected center’s claim that all damages were capped by the Texas Tort Claims Act’s $100,000 liability limit that applies to a “unit of local government,” as opposed to the Act’s $250,000 cap applicable to the “state government.”
