Texas Supreme Court

Johnson & Johnson Medical, Inc. F/k/a Surgikos, Inc., Petitioner v. Martha Sanchez, Respondent

August 14, 1996924 S.W.2d 925

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that there is a genuine issue of fact as to when Martha Sanchez’s article 8307c claim accrued, so the appellate court’s judgment on that claim is affirmed in part and remanded for further proceedings; the Court also held that Sanchez presented no evidence of reliance for her fraud claim, reversing the appellate judgment on fraud and granting judgment for Johnson & Johnson. Justice Owen, in a concurring in part and dissenting in part opinion, argued the wrongful‑termination claim is time‑barred and would affirm the trial court’s judgment in all respects.
