CompFox AI Summary
Laird, an insured homeowner, filed a claim with CMI, his insurer, for damages including water loss and mold remediation. A dispute over the payable amount led to an appraisal award. CMI sought a declaratory judgment, arguing it fulfilled its obligations, while Laird counter-petitioned for breach of contract and violations of the Texas Insurance Code and Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The trial court granted CMI's summary judgment motion, but the appellate court found unresolved fact issues concerning the causation of certain damages, specifically personal property manipulation costs and various build-back repairs, and the application of mold remediation policy limitations. The court concluded that CMI's liability was not established as a matter of law. Therefore, the trial court's summary judgment was reversed, and the cause was remanded for further proceedings.
