Ranger County Mutual Insurance Company, Petitioner v. John Wesley Guin, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals, holding that Ranger County Mutual Insurance Company was negligent under the Stowers Doctrine for failing to adequately advise its insureds and to settle within policy limits, and that the jury's verdict of negligence was supported by the evidence. Justice Gonzalez dissented, arguing the doctrine should be limited to unconditional settlement offers.
