With the bombshell settlements that have been coming down on the trucking companies, everyone seems to wonder who foots the bill after the insurance limits are maxed. Ultimately the insured is responsible and could potentially have their fleet seized and sold to pay for the additional damages.
According to a post with CCJ, there is a post-trial punishment in Texas that chases a punitive damages settlement, which its both economic and non-economic damages. Lawsuits like this could potentially lead to higher verdicts jeopardizing fleets of any size and type.
