Opinion by:
ALMA L.. LÓPEZ, Justice.
This appeal arises from a survivor’s cause of action for punitive damages. Appellant, Donna Hall (“Hall”) appeals the trial court’s judgment, which capped her recovery of punitive damages. Appellees, Diamond Shamrock Refining Co., L.P., Diamond Shamrock Refining and Marketing Co., Diamond Shamrock, Inc., Sigmor Corp., and Ultramar Diamond Shamrock Corp., (“Diamond Shamrock”) cross-appeal the jury verdict. Because we find that the trial court abused its discretion, we reverse the judgment of the trial court and remand the cause for a new trial.
