A federal lawsuit has been filed against the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association and other parties. The lawsuit alleges that damage estimates for Hurricane Beryl were secretly reduced, potentially affecting thousands of homeowners. Attorneys for three homeowners claim that original estimates were changed by someone who did not inspect the properties, without the knowledge of the field adjuster.

The lawsuit suggests that this may have been part of a larger scheme. Further details about the allegations and the lawsuit are available. The case is proposed as a class-action lawsuit, which could impact many policyholders.
