Mrs. Patricia Biggers v. Continental Bus System, Incorporated

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Civil Appeals and remanded, holding that the bus driver’s excessive speed was a proximate cause of the collision and therefore supported the jury’s verdict against Continental Bus System. The Court limited its analysis to excessive speed and declined to address the other negligent acts. Two dissenting opinions, authored by Justice Griffin, argue that the bus driver could not have foreseen the Ford’s movement and that Continental should not be liable.
