Clayton W. Williams, Jr., Inc. and Odis E. Graham, Petitioners v. David & Rosielinda Olivo, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the general contractor and its on‑site representative were not liable for the employee’s injuries because the plaintiff failed to obtain jury findings on the premises‑defect elements required for a liability claim; consequently the appellate judgment awarding damages was reversed and the Olivos took nothing. Justice Spector, concurring in part and dissenting in part, agreed with the analysis but would have vacated the judgments and remanded for a new trial.
