Psychologist's Report Withheld By State Farm Results In New Trial

State Farm withheld an important report in an Arlington PI case in which they were the UIM carrier defending liability and were investigating into treatment for MedPay benefits. The MedPay unit received a report from a psychologist on the last day of trial, a report that greatly strengthened the plaintiff's claim of traumatic brain injury. The report was not received by the plaintiff until after they'd lost.

A judge granted a new trial despite State Farms protests that their liability department didn't have the report, and only their MedPay did, thus they weren't in violation of process.

Looks like State Farm got their wires crossed while trying to perform their dual-roles.
