Plaintiff’s counsel sued XL for violating the Texas insurance code by failing to timely investigate the claim, and in so doing, breaching its common law obligations of good faith and fair dealing.

In August of 2008, Terry Gray was hired by St. Paul the Apostle Orthodox Church in Dennison, Texas to construct an activity center. On September 29, 2008, Terry was told that he needed to construct scaffolding inside of the activity center in order begin placing roof trusses. On September 30, 2008, Terry was working from the scaffolding approximately 20 feet off the ground. Father Michael Storozuk used a SkyTrak to deliver roof trusses to Terry. The scaffolding collapsed after approximately twenty trusses were placed on the scaffold. Terry fell 20 feet and was knocked unconscious. Terry argued that Michael Storozuk was negligent in operating the SkyTrak and alleged that Father Storozuk struck the scaffolding on two separate occasions prior to the scaffolding’s collapse. Terry also argued St. Paul the Apostle Orthodox Church was vicariously liable under the doctrine of respondeat superior. Defendant argued that Plaintiff negligently constructed the scaffolding and failed to use available material that would have made the scaffolding safer. Defendant argued that Plaintiff was under the influence of marijuana and methamphetamines, these arguments were supported by toxicology screens taken at the hospital after the accident. Defendant also argued that the scaffolding fell 3-5 minutes after Father Storozuk struck the scaffolding and thus Father Storozuk’s actions were not the proximate cause of the collapse. Defendant argued that Plaintiff was the proximate cause of the collapse because Plaintiff stacked the trusses on the scaffolding and the weight of the trusses caused the scaffolding to collapse.

Christopher and his friends were confronted by gang members when they left the party. According to the allegations made in court documents, Fern Roberson III shot Easter in the head killing him. Roberson, who was standing off the premises when he allegedly shot Easter, had been at the party prior to the incident and was asked to leave. The Easters alleged that the Defendants were responsible for failing to provide security for the premises. The Easters argued that the Defendants should have both screened entrants and provided security, but failed to do either effectively. Although the shooter had been asked to leave and was off the property, the Plaintiffs argued that the Defendants had created an environment where criminal acts were unimpeded.
