TEMPLE-INLAND FOREST PRODUCTS CORP. v. CARTER

No. 97-0592.

993 S.W.2d 88 (1999)

TEMPLE-INLAND FOREST PRODUCTS CORPORATION, Petitioner, v. Martin Reeves CARTER, Sr. and Larry Wilson, Respondents.

Supreme Court of Texas.

Decided April 29, 1999.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

D. Allen Jones, Beaumont, for Petitioner.

James I. Potts, Beaumont, for Respondents.

Justice HECHT delivered the opinion for a unanimous Court.

The sole issue in this case is whether a person who has been exposed to asbestos but does not have an asbestos-related disease may recover damages for fear of the possibility of developing such a disease in the future. The district court granted summary judgment for the defendant on plaintiff's claims for actual and punitive damages. A divided court of appeals reversed only on the actual damages claim.
