Texas Supreme Court

Walter Carey v. Pure Distributing Corporation

February 15, 1939133 Tex. 31

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that Pure Distributing Corporation and its driver were liable for Walter Carey's injuries because their negligence was a proximate cause, but they were not liable for Mrs. Carey's miscarriage, which was deemed too remote. Accordingly, the Court reversed the lower courts, entered judgment for Walter Carey in the amount of $1,500, and denied recovery for Mrs. Carey.
