OPINION

MAURICE E. AMIDEI, Justice.

Kroger appeals from a judgment in favor of Juan Betancourt and his wife, Irene Betancourt, in their personal injury suit. On appeal, Kroger asserts three complaints: (1) the trial court’s refusal to submit to the jury the comparative responsibility of a settling defendant; (2) the factual sufficiency of the evidence supporting the jury’s finding of negligence; and (3) the admission of expert testimony in light of E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. v. Robinson, 923 S.W.2d 549 (Tex.1995). We affirm.
