Two Bills Relating to Auto Insurance Claims Practices Advance in Texas May 11, 2021
House Bill 359
The Texas House May 7 passed House Bill 359, which addresses delaying tactics practiced by insurers in claims involving uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage.
According to legislative analysis of HB359 by Rep. Charlie Geren, District 99, the legislation was filed over “concerns that insurance carriers that delay claim evaluations, significantly undervalue claims, or delay or deny payment on valid claims are not penalized for doing so. As a result, policy holders with valid automobile insurance claims are often forced to sue their own insurance company to receive payment under their auto insurance policy’s uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage.”
