Plaintiff's Attorney:
Defendant's Attorney: Patrick M. Kemp and Robert Glen Wall
Description: Austin, Texas insurance law lawyer represented Plaintiff, who sued Defendant on a bad faith breach of insurance contract theory claiming to have suffered more than $75,000 in damages as a result of the wrongful failure to pay Plaintiff's claims.
This case was filed in the 425th Judicial District, Williamson County, TX, 22-00591-C425, and was removed to federal court by Defendant.
The claims made and defenses asserted are not available.
"Texas, insurance companies owe a wide range of duties to their policyholders aimed at ensuring claims are promptly adjusted and settled in a fair manner. An insurance company that breaches these duties can be liable to the policyholder for additional damages, penalties, and attorney’s fees beyond what is owed under the insurance policy. The reason insurance companies are so closely regulated is the inherent advantage they have over their insureds who are depending on the coverage they paid for."
Outcome: 12/29/2022 8 STIPULATION of Dismissal with Prejudice by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company. (Attachments: # 1 Proposed Order)(Kemp, Patrick) (Entered: 12/29/2022)
