2012 Insurance Bills Passed Into Law

HB 1540: Workplace Injuries
Corrects onerous Western District Court Ruling (Hooker v. Robinson) which allowed employees to sue their co-employees for workplace injuries even after collecting workers' compensation benefits. HB 1540 specifies that co-employees may not be held liable except in cases of affirmative negligence that purposefully and dangerously causes or increases the risk of injury.

HB 1495 : Immunity
Expands immunity against civil actions for insurance providers and other entities that provide information to law enforcement and regulatory agencies in conjunction with insurance fraud investigations.
