Rule 1042.26 Medical Professional Liability Actions. Expert Reports

See Section 5101.1(c) of the Judicial Code, 42 Pa.C.S. § 5101.1(c), for the definitions of ‘‘health care provider,’’ ‘‘medical professional liability action’’ and ‘‘medical professional liability claim.’’

The rules of this chapter create additional requirements for the pre-trial production of expert reports for cases within the scope of these rules.

These rules do not apply if the court has set different times for the production of expert reports, whether those times are established before or after a party has initiated a proceeding under this chapter by the filing of a request for expert reports.
