A magistrate of the Northern District of Texas recommended denial of an insurer’s motions to strike an insured’s causation expert and for summary judgment in a hailstorm coverage dispute, finding that the insured’s expert was properly qualified, that his opinions were sufficiently reliable for purposes of admissibility, and that the insured had met its burden under the concurrent-causation doctrine to segregate damages by attributing the entirety of the loss to a covered peril.
