Texas Supreme Court
Ford Motor Company, Petitioner v. Susan Renae Miles
June 23, 1998967 S.W.2d 377
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court reversed the appellate court’s judgment in part, holding that venue was improper in Rusk County and remanding for transfer to Dallas County and a new trial; it affirmed that stepparents and siblings cannot recover for loss of consortium. The Court also noted that the erroneous jury instruction on the manufacturer’s duty was not reversible error. Justice HANKINSON dissented on the venue analysis, and Justice GONZALEZ concurred on the partial remand issue.
