Plaintiff, a third-party claimant, does not have standing to bring Deceptive Trade Practices Act claims against Defendants (liability insurers) before Plaintiff has established by judgment or agreement that the insured has a legal obligation to pay damages to the injured party (Plaintiff). h/t David Cornelius Points, III, JD, MBA and Edel Lueso #clientresults #ThompsonCoe #insurancecoverage

Despite being alerted to a potential malpractice claim in 2019, the insured did not report the claim to our client until three years later. Accordingly, our client denied coverage and after an action for declaratory relief, the district court granted summary judgment in our client’s favor.
