Gerald James Guillot and New York Underwriters Insurance Company, Petitioners v. Vinson W. Hix, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a workers' compensation insurance carrier's subrogation action accrues at the same time as the employee's third‑party tort action—on the date of injury—for injuries occurring after the 1973 amendment to the Workers' Compensation Act, thereby applying the two‑year personal injury limitations period. The court affirmed the Court of Appeals judgment that the carrier's action was time‑barred.
