A series of lawsuits between an attorney and The Hartford insurance company have finally been settled. The case centered around a 2009 trial where a Texas attorney was accused of making illegal bribes to two Hartford claims processors to get increased insurance settlements for clients. The case ended in a mistrial.

The attorney later sued The Hartford, saying the claims handlers had extorted $3 million from him. He accused the insurance company of negligence, economic duress, interference with his attorney-client relationships and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The case was settled out of court.
