Jbs Carriers, Inc. and James Lundry, Petitioners v. Trinette L. Washington, Sophia Renee Lenzy, Thomas Charles…

December 21, 2018564 S.W.3d 830

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals, holding that the trial court erred in excluding evidence of the victim's mental health and substance use, and that the jury's finding of JBS's direct negligence was unsupported by the record. The Court remanded for further proceedings on the employer's respondeat superior liability.
