GUNN CHEVROLET v. HINERMAN

No. 94-0830.

898 S.W.2d 817 (1995)

GUNN CHEVROLET, INC., Petitioner, v. Mara HINERMAN, Respondent.

Supreme Court of Texas.

May 25, 1995.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jonathan Yedor, San Antonio, for petitioner.

Jeffrey S. Bernstein, San Antonio, for respondent.


PER CURIAM.

Section 451.001 of the Texas Labor Code prohibits a person from, among other things, discharging an employee for filing a workers' compensation claim in good faith. The issue in this case is whether this statute imposes liability on a non-subscribing employer under the Workers' Compensation Act for discharging an employee injured on the job when the employer did not cause the injury. We hold that there is no liability as a matter of law.
