Spunizo v. Charity Hospital

1 Citing case

  1. Pevey v. Lallie Kemp Reg.

    713 So. 2d 1258 (La. Ct. App. 1998)   Cited 3 times

    There is no assertion of negligence in the "treatment which was performed or furnished" to plaintiff, hence a strict construction of the Act necessitates a finding that the amended allegations precludes its coverage. We disagree with defendant that the case of Spunizo v. Charity Hospital, 97-2668 (La. 1/9/98); 705 So.2d 1085 is dispositive of the issue in the instant case. That case merely held that the triggering event for the medical review panel requirement was not when the health care was rendered, but when the claim was filed.
