Texas Supreme Court

Hughes Wood Products, Inc. and Bailey Wagner, Petitioners v. Mack M. Wagner, Respondent

May 25, 200043 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 595

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals' reversal of summary judgment, holding that the defendants failed to demonstrate immunity under Louisiana workers' compensation law and therefore could not obtain summary judgment. The Court emphasized that Restatement §184 must be applied to the exclusive‑remedy issue in the choice‑of‑law analysis and remanded the case for further proceedings.
