There is lots of information available about actions to be taken before a lawsuit is filed. There is also a lot of information available about the potential wrongs of an insurance company, it’s agents and adjusters. What is rarely discussed is the work an insured has to do in a lawsuit. When we say”insured” we are speaking of the person, not the person’s lawyer.
This issue can be seen in a 2022 opinion from the Austin Court of Appeals. The style of the opinion is Michael V. Wright and Phyllis F. Wright v. State Farm Lloyds.
In this case, the Wrights sued State Farm for breach of contract and various violations of the Texas Insurance Code. The lawsuit arose out of the way the Wrights were treated after they made a claim for benefits after a fire loss.
