Doyle Files Workers’ Compensation Bad Faith Claim Against Liberty Mutual
On March 25, 2011, Doyle filed a workers’ compensation bad faith lawsuit against Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company and its adjuster, on behalf of an employee who was injured on the job in April 2009. After Liberty Mutual had accepted the employee’s claim and acknowledged his injury, Liberty Mutual decided to cancel treatment and surgery in spite of its pre-authorizations.
Further, the law suit includes a wrongful dischage claim against the injured employee’s former employer, who fired the employee in retaliation for his reporting his on-the-job injury to Liberty Mutual.
Doyle is proud to assist this injured employee, who prevailed in hearings before the Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers’ Compensation, in holding accountable Liberty Mutual, its adjuster, and his former employer for their actions.
