Truck Fire Claim Lacked Expert

August 18, 2026

TAT Express, Inc. v. BlueGrace, LLC arose after BlueGrace’s eighteen-wheeler caught fire roughly sixty to eighty miles after TAT performed repairs on it. The Fifth Court rendered judgment against BlueGrace’s negligence claim, holding that expert testimony was required to link the fire’s cause to TAT’s repair work and that BlueGrace’s lay evidence could not carry that burden. No. 05-25-00255-CV (Aug. 10, 2026).
