Description

This is an appeal from a denial of attorneys fees in a suit against the City of Dallas for failure to pay insurance benefits. The City of Dallas established a self-insurance plan for health benefits of its employees and their dependents which was administered by Republic National Life Insurance Company. Betty Gates, a dependent, suffers from multiple sclerosis, requiring a nurse to attend her. The nursing services were paid for under the Citys insurance plan. Thereafter in 1982 the City took over administration of the self-insurance fund and denied further payment of benefits to Mrs. Gates. Gates then sued the City of Dallas for denial of insurance benefits. The trial court rendered partial summary judgment in favor of Gates for the unpaid accrued benefits. Thereafter, the parties stipulated that the City would pay future claims under the plan. Recovery of attorneys fees was the sole issue upon which the parties proceeded to trial. The trial court further found reasonable attorneys fees in the amount of $120,000 to be recoverable from the City of Dallas pursuant to Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. Ann. art. 2226 (Vernon Supp. 1985) and Tex. Ins. Code Ann. art. 1.14-1(7) (Vernon 1981).
