When a house burns in Grand Prairie, Arlington, Colleyville, Keller, Mansfield, Fort Worth, Azle, Aledo, or Weatherford, or anywhere else in Texas; What happens when the house catches on fire? Will the insurance company pay for the damages?
In, State Farm Fire & Casualty Insurance Company v. Simmons, the answer was no until the case went to court. At that point, State Farm Fire & Casualty Company (State Farm) was eventually ordered to pay the damages. This is a 1998, Texas Supreme Court case. In this case, the Simmons had moved into a new home and spent monies improving the property and buying items for the inside of the house. Their house had been burglarized in the middle of the day and later those responsible were located."
