Insurer Drops Suit Against Tyler Widow
Crystal Davis, a stay-at-home mom from Tyler, got some welcome news in her battle against an insurance company that sued to cut off the workers’ compensation benefits she got after her husband was killed on the job.
Davis’ lawyer, Frank Weedon, called to inform her early Thursday evening that ACE American Insurance had dropped its lawsuit against her and her children. Davis’ story was featured in The Texas Tribune’s four-part series published this week, Hurting For Work, about the struggles people face after they or their loved ones are hurt or killed on the job in Texas.
“I feel like I’m dreaming. I’m relieved,” she said. “My whole family is relieved.”
Wayne Davis, a traveling sales and profit coach for Burger King, was killed in a traffic accident in September 2012 while driving to an appointment with a Burger King franchise in Coushatta, Louisiana. Like many Texans, his wife and children were entitled to receive death benefits under his employer's workers’ compensation policy.
