INTRODUCTION
James E. Bonnifield (Bonnifield) died of asbestos related cancer after working for many years in an oil field operated by a subsidiary of Texaco, Inc. (Texaco). His children and his estate (collectively, the estate) brought this wrongful death action in 2006 against Chevron Corporation (Chevron) and others, alleging that Chevron had merged with Texaco and was therefore its successor in interest.
