Court

The Court of Appeals agreed with Insurer that a workers’ compensation claimant’s claims alleging Insurance Code violations were barred by the Supreme Court’s holding in Texas Mutual Insurance Co. v. Ruttiger, thus reversing judgment on those claims, but leaving intact the judgment and the trial court’s jurisdiction over DTPA and breach of contract claims involving the Insurer’s refusal to make payments under the parties’ Compromise Settlement Agreement.
