Transcontinental Insurance Company, Petitioner v. Joyce Crump, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals, holding that the treating physician’s expert testimony was reliable and sufficient, that the trial court’s jury charge omitted a required but‑for element and was therefore erroneous, and that an insurance carrier may have a jury determine the amount of attorney’s fees owed under Texas Labor Code § 408.221(c). Justice JOHNSON filed a concurring opinion and Justice GUZMAN did not participate.
