National Union Fire Insurance Co. v. Wyar

OPINION

COHEN, Justice.

Appellee, Dennis K. Wyar, won a workers’ compensation award from the Industrial Accident Board (I.A.B.). Appellant, National Union Fire Insurance Company (National), sued in the district court to set aside the I.A.B. ruling. The trial court granted Wyar a directed verdict on liability and submitted a damages issue to the jury. Based on the directed verdict and the jury verdict, the trial court rendered judgment for Wyar.

In its first and second points of error, National asserts Wyar’s pleadings do not support the judgment because Wyar pleaded for “medical expenses unpaid”…
