Is it still good law? What later courts have actually done to this case.

More on how this was screened
Missouri Pacific Railroad v. Navarro applied Rogers's jury submission rule but held that a different standard governs the admissibility of expert evidence. Norfolk Southern Railway Co. v. Sorrell expressly left the substantive causation standard undecided.
79 later cases cite Rogers v. Missouri Pacific Railroad; 79 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.
