Transport Insurance Company, Lindsey & Newsom Claim Services and Janet E. Jones, Petitioners v. Paula Trippel…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals, holding that Transport Insurance Company and its affiliates were not liable under the Texas Insurance Code, the DTPA, or any common‑law theory (fraud, civil conspiracy, fiduciary or good‑faith duty) for the settlement of a minor's wrongful‑death claim, and ordered that the plaintiff receive nothing. The Court also noted that the case is remanded for the trial court to address any remaining defendants.
