Texas Supreme Court

Borg-Warner Corporation, Now Known as Burns International Services Corporation, Petitioner v. Arturo Flores, Respondent

June 8, 200750 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 851

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and entered judgment for Borg‑Warner, holding that the plaintiff failed to prove the substantial‑factor causation required for both his negligence and strict‑liability asbestos claims. The Court explained that mere frequency, regularity, and proximity of exposure without evidence of a sufficient dose is insufficient to satisfy Texas causation standards.
