James Eugene Flanigan v. Jack Carswell

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the ambulance driver’s lack of a chauffeur’s license was not a proximate cause of the collision and that the trial court properly exercised its discretion to order a remittitur. The Court of Civil Appeals erred by applying the wrong standard of review to the remittitur, so its judgment was reversed and the case remanded for further consideration under the correct abuse‑of‑discretion standard.
