The Tennessee Court of Appeals recently affirmed a trial court's dismissal of a plaintiff's medical malpractice case (n.k.a. a "health care liability action") due to the plaintiff's counsel's failure to comply with the new tort "deform" law. The case is Vaughn v. Mountain States Health Alliance, No. E2012-01042-COA-R3-CV (Tenn. Ct. App. Mar. 5, 2013). The summary from the slip opinion states as follows:
The plaintiff filed a medical malpractice action against numerous healthcare providers. The defendants moved to dismiss the complaint based on the plaintiff’s failure to comply with Tennessee Code Annotated sections 29-26-121 and -122. The trial court granted the motions and dismissed the action with prejudice. The plaintiff appeals. We affirm.
