Roy Alaniz v. Raymundo Ibarra, Jr.
May 20, 2016OUTCOME: The Texas Supreme Court upheld the appellate court's holding that the jury's verdict could not be disturbed because Texas law does not impose absolute liability on following drivers.
The underlying trial case dealt with whether a rear-end collision gives rise to an automatic jury finding of negligence under Texas law. Plaintiff appealed the jury's defense verdict.
