      abstract = {The paper compared the medical negligence jurisprudence in Nigeria and United States of America with particular reference to the state of Texas. It was thereafter discovered that the medical negligence jurisprudence in Texas is robust, structured and well defined when compared to what is obtainable in Nigeria. The paper therefore recommended an overhaul of the Nigerian medical negligence jurisprudence and the adoption of Chapter 74 of the Texas Medical and Civil Remedies Code in terms of burden of proof, cap, medical evidence, pre-requirements for filing and statute of limitation. The authors used the doctrinal as well as comparative research method to achieve the aim of this research paper wherein both primary and secondary materials were consulted.},
