C. H. Landers v. East Texas Salt Water Disposal Company

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Civil Appeals and remanded, holding that the plaintiff's pleading sufficiently alleged joint and several liability and that the trial court erred in severing the actions and dismissing the damages claim. The Court overruled the Robicheaux rule and announced that where independent torts produce an indivisible injury, all wrongdoers are jointly and severally liable.
