Darla Smithson v. Cessna Aircraft Company, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and affirmed the trial court’s judgment for Smithson, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting the undisclosed expert’s deposition testimony and in excluding evidence of the decedent’s pilot negligence. The Court also held that the appellate court erred in overruling the trial court’s factual sufficiency finding.
