Casualty Underwriters v. Upshur Rhone

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Civil Appeals, holding that Upshur Rhone was employed by C.H. McDaniel, the subcontractor, at the time of his injury, making Casualty Underwriters, the carrier for McDaniel, liable. The Court also rejected the argument that the jury's answers on the duration of the arm injury were conflicting, finding they could be reconciled.
