Provident American Insurance Company, Petitioner v. Denise Castañeda, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and entered judgment for Provident American, holding that no legally sufficient evidence supported the jury's findings of violations of the Deceptive Trade Practices Act and the Texas Insurance Code. The Court concluded that the insurer had a reasonable basis for denying the claim and that liability was not reasonably clear. A dissent argued that the evidence did support the jury's verdict and would have affirmed the appellate judgment.
