Lewis v. Mundy Const. Co., Inc.

OPINION

PAUL PRESSLER, Justice.

Appellant was working as a union carpenter for a contractor at the Exxon refinery in Baytown, Texas. He tripped and fell over a hose and injured his back. Lewis sued appellees Mundy Construction Company, Inc. and Mundy Industrial Services, Inc., alleging that the negligent conduct of their employees caused his fall. The case was tried to a jury, which found no liability of either company. The jury instead found that Lewis was negligent and awarded him zero damages. The trial court accordingly entered judgment for appellees, and Lewis appeals. We affirm.
