Introduced by: Terry G. Kilgore | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Civil procedure; disclosure of insurance liability limits. Allows an injured person, or his attorney, to request the disclosure of the liability limits of an insurance policy prior to filing a civil action for personal injuries resulting from a motor vehicle accident. The party requesting this information shall provide the insurer with (i) the date of the accident, (ii) the name and last-known address of the alleged tortfeasor, (iii) a copy of the accident report, if any, (iv) the claim number, if available, and (v) the injured person's medical records, medical bills, and wage-loss determination. The insurer only has to disclose the liability limits if the amount of the injured person's medical bills and wage losses equals or exceeds $12,500. The bill also provides that disclosure of a policy's limits shall not constitute an admission that the alleged injury is subject to the policy.
