Texas SC rejects ‘every exposure’ theory in asbestos case

AUSTIN, Texas (Legal Newsline) – The Texas Supreme Court has ruled that an asbestos claimant failed to offer legally sufficient causation evidence, denying the “every exposure” theory on the grounds that simply offering evidence of exposure regarding a dose-related disease should not imply automatic liability.

Justice Don R. Willett delivered the Friday opinion of the court, with Chief Justice Nathan L. Hecht and justices Paul W. Green, Phil Johnson and Jeff Brown joining.
