Both Allstate and the state of Texas are claiming victory after a federal court ruling last week that upheld provisions of a state law prohibiting insurance companies from owning auto repair shops.
U.S. District Court Judge Ed Kinkeade in Dallas upheld the legislative ban against insurers owning auto repair shops, but struck down the requirement that Allstate must tell claimants of all the options available to them to fix their car.
The Northbrook, Ill.-based personal lines insurer said it was considering an appeal.
