Hyundai Motor Co. and Hyundai Motor America, Inc., Petitioners v. Victor Manuel Vasquez and Brenda Suarez Vasquez…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in refusing a voir dire question that previewed the weight of evidence about the decedent’s lack of a seat belt and also did not abuse its discretion in prohibiting further seat‑belt related inquiries; the Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded. The dissenting justices argued that the trial court’s restriction was an abuse of discretion and that the error was preserved.
