A law firm initially proposed a $100,000 settlement and alleges the insurer concealed a $500,000 death-claim limit.
Writing for the panel, Fifth Circuit Judge James E. Graves Jr. said the court must determine whether the five categories of costs were losses incurred solely as a result of the system failure.
The suit arises from an insured's objection to USAA's decision to declare her nearly restored 1983 Mercedes-Benz 300SD was a salvage vehicle after a collision
Plaintiffs are waiting to find out whether a judge will allow them to combine 78 lawsuits that claim Allstate unlawfully reduced coverage.
Federal Insurance names 17 defendants, including ScoreMore Holdings LLC, a Texas-based festival production, concert promotion and artist management company.
Throughout the hearing, the justices grappled with a phrase in the law: 'The amount to be awarded in the judgment.'
The ruling hinged on the insurer's right under the policy to control the defense.
Fifth Circuit Judge James Ho asked whether to apply the coverage provision or enforce the exclusion since both provisions together are incompatible.
The Fifth Circuit reversed and remanded on the duty to indemnify because the ruling of the district court was premature.
The appeal hinged on if a former player elected to receive injury protection payments under a collective bargaining agreement.
