A doctor in the Texas area has reportedly been awarded $3.4 million in a case where a medical malpractice insurer allegedly committed unfair and deceptive practices. According to reports, the group wrongly denied insurance coverage after the doctor was sued by a former patient. The insurer reportedly argued that he didn't notify the company about the possibility of a lawsuit at the time. However, he reportedly didn't know that his patient had suffered as a result of treatment as he was only involved as far as a couple phone calls regarding the patient's care.
