Today Doyle filed a lawsuit against Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company and and its adjuster for insurance code violations, insurance bad faith, and for violating the DTPA. Doyle’s client, a security guard for Smith Protective Services, had her entire claim denied because Liberty Mutual claimed that she was employed by a company that did not have workers’ compensation coverage for its employees, even though every facet of her employment was controlled by Liberty Mutual’s insured Smith Protective Services. Because of the wrongful denial, income and medical benefits were denied for over eight months. As a result, the suit was filed to recover the economic, psychological and physical damages she suffered as a result of delayed payment of benefits.
