Hartford Accident and Indemnity Co. v. Francois

Court: Tx 5-Dallas  05/23/2023  Court Reverses Allocation of Workers' Compensation Settlement Between Claimant and Subrogee Insurer

A Texas appellate court reversed the district court's allocation of a workers' compensation settlement, holding that where the settlement does not fully compensate the subrogee insurer, the subrogee insurer's recovery is to be calculated from the full amount of any settlement recovered from the tortfeasor, and that the Texas Labor Code caps the claimant's attorneys' fees at one-third the subrogee insurer's recovery.
