Description
This is a common law damage suit for personal injuries sustained by Edward L. Bell and J. A. Hurley, employees of an independent contractor constructing a large chemical plant for Mobil Chemical Company, when acetic acid escaped from a portion of the plant already completed and turned over to Mobil. A jury failed to find that Mobil was guilty of specific acts of negligence but answered res ipsa loquitur issues favorably to the plaintiffs. / Based on these findings, judgment was entered that each plaintiff recover $12,000 from Mobil. The court of civil appeals has held, inter alia, that the res ipsa theory was improperly submitted to the jury and has reversed and remanded for a new trial. 502 S.W.2d 564. We disapprove of the holding of the court of civil appeals with respect to submission of res ipsa cases but find ourselves compelled to affirm the judgment of remand since plaintiffs have not sought relief from the remand by applying for a writ of error.
