Shuttleworth Attorney Rob Briley Achieves Dismissal of Healthcare Liability Act Claim.

Shuttleworth attorney Rob Briley successfully argued that the plaintiff’s claim for breach of contract against a dentist was actually a healthcare liability act claim. The Court agreed because the plaintiff also alleged a defect in the quality of services rendered in stating her breach of contract claim. Because the plaintiff had failed even to attempt pre-suit notice before filing the action, the Court dismissed it pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 29-26-121 and 122.
