Texas Supreme Court

Mel Lemos, Petitioner v. Alfred R. Montez, Respondents

November 14, 198428 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 94

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the trial court erred by submitting an unavoidable‑accident issue to the jury and by giving an instruction that the mere occurrence of a collision is not evidence of negligence. Both errors required reversal of the lower courts' judgments and a remand for a new trial.
