National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh vs. Crocker, Beatrice

Year: 2005
Court: Texas Supreme Court
Case Number: 06-0868

The Court should confirm the well-established rule that insurance companies owe their policyholders and additional insureds a duty to disclose coverage. Moreover, an insurance company cannot rely on lack of formal notice when it (a) receives actual notice or (b) has not been prejudiced by a lack of notice.

UP’s brief was prepared pro bono by G. Andrew Veazey, Esq. and John N. Ellison, Esq.
