The Fort Worth court of Appeals issued an opinion in May 2017, that illustrates the wrong way to pursue a claim and lawsuit for storm and hail damage. The opinion is styled, Richard Seim and Linda Seim v. Allstate Texas Lloyds and Lisa Scott.
This a motion for en banc reconsideration.
The Seims sued Allstate and the adjuster, Scott for the denial of benefits after the Seims claim of hail and storm damage to their home. The Seims filed suit claiming damage to their property occurred from a August 2013 storm. They then filed an amended petition removing references to the August 2013 storm and asserted the damage stemmed from an April 2007 storm. They amended their petition again stating the damage occurred in April 2007, April 2008, and May 2012. They amended yet again stating the damage occurred in the August 2013 storm. Allstate filed a motion for summary judgment on numerous grounds.
