Don’t read, don’t sue for misrepresentation

The plaintiff in Wooten v. Northwestern Mut. Life. Ins. Co. sued for alleged misrepresentations about the sale of disability-insurance policies. The Fifth Court affirmed summary judgment for the defense:  “‘[P]olicy provisions and other documentation addressed above demonstrate the policies did not provide the coverage or the payout appellees allegedly misrepresented. ‘His injury was not inherently undiscoverable because he easily could have discovered his injury by reading the policies.'” No. 05-20-00798-CV (July 31, 2013) (mem. op.).
