Description
This is a wrongful death and survival action stemming from a collision on Highway 114 between a westbound Yukon driven by Kim Hughes and an eastbound gravel truck driven by Ricardo Rodriguez. The gravel truck was owned by Aurelio Melendez and leased to TXI Transportation Company. The passengers in the Yukon were Joyce Watkins (Kims mother), Afton Hughes Royse (Kims daughter who was pregnant with twins), Shiloh Hughes (Kims son), and Jagr Royse (Kims grandson). As a result of the Yukons "sideswipe" collision with the gravel truck, the Yukon traveled down the length of the gravel truck, spun off the back of the gravel truck, veered into the oncoming lane of traffic, and was "T-boned" by a Ford F-250. Of the Yukons passengers, only Jagr Royse survived the accident. Following a seven-day trial, involving testimony from twenty-eight witnesses, a jury found that Rodriguez had negligently operated the gravel truck, that TXI had negligently hired Rodriguez, and that Melendez had negligently entrusted the gravel truck to Rodriguez. After disregarding certain jury findings, the trial court entered a judgment against Appellants for $15,787,190 in compensatory damages and $6,658,000 in exemplary damages. Appellants raise six issues encompassing seventeen individually asserted subissues on appeal.
