Sign the petition NOW - Tell TDI No!
ALERT: Please take a minute to sign this petition from our friends at Texas Watch urging TDI to reject the insurance industry's attempt to buy the rights of Texas homeowners. The rights of homeowners are under attack. At least one Texas insurance company is actively negotiating with the state insurance commissioner over new language that would subject homeowners to pre-dispute binding arbitration when the company low, slow, or no pays valid insurance claims. A decision on this key issue is imminent. Click on the headline to sign the petition. ________________________________________

The state of California has filed suit against Johnson & Johnson over inaccurate marketing for pelvic mesh devices, which have proven to cause complications in patients. The lawsuit was filed by the state attorney general on Tuesday and alleges that Johnson & Johnson falsely marketed the products as a safe alternative to non-mesh treatments for pelvic floor disorders. The state of California contends that Johnson & Johnson was aware that the devices could cause pain, bleeding, loss of sexual function and other side effects.

A Superior Court judge ordered the parents of a preschooler who shot his 6-year-old neighbor to death with a loaded rifle they kept under their bed to pay more than $570,000 to the dead boy's parents. The $572,588.26 award Monday to Christine and Ronald Holt was Judge Robert Brenner's finding in the wrongful death suit the former Toms River couple brought against Anthony and Melissa Senatore in 2013 shooting death of their son Brandon Holt.
