Werner is beneficiary of the voice of reason.

The fact of the matter is Werner was not liable nor was the driver… If Werner‘s driver was so incompetent than how was he able to sit there and see what was coming ahead of them and actually maintain control of the truck or the entire incident? Nice try the Supreme Court didn’t sidestep anything. They saw the writing on the wall too along with many other folks… She was looking for a payday because she was too stupid and negligent… Yeah, it’s unfortunate that she lost a child and the other one is disabled paralyzed for life, but that’s the choice she made and now she has to live with it without somebody else’s money

 

You're correct that the Texas Supreme Court ruled that the actual cause of the accident voids any and all proximate causes. Something the lower and appellate courts should have ruled, in my opinion. None of that changes the fact that Werner's original lawyers SCREWED UP BY THE NUMBERS. That's all I'm saying here. Werner's lawyer's SCREWED THE POOCH during the initial trial. Beyond not being prepared to be ruled against regarding the Addmision Rule and the concept of respondent superior, they did a lousy job of prepping their witnesses and an even worse job in presenting the case to the jury.

You're not correct in the Texas Supreme Court sidestepping ruling on the Admission Rule.

Unpacking the Werner Case

"However, in addition to the momentous reversal, practitioners in Texas were hoping that the Court would provide a definitive holding adopting the Admission Rule in the state. Unfortunately, the Texas Supreme Court majority avoided addressing the Rule."

Footnote 7 in the Texas Supreme Court decision
"The defendants and some amici ask us to adopt the “Admission Rule,” under which defendants who admit that an employee was acting in the course and scope of employment need not also defend against other derivative theories of negligence. Because our holding regarding proximate cause disposes of all claims against Werner even in the absence of the Admission Rule, we need not consider the matter further"

She was a passenger in the car. A man was driving. I don't know how they're related.

 

There is a problem? Can you be more specific? I hadn't noticed.

 

Maybe Super Ego hooked him up.

 

I wonder if the thread about the Werner trainer was used in this case?
