Since Hurricane Ike struck in 2008, thousands of lawsuits against windstorm insurers have filtered into Texas Gulf Coast courthouses.
But on Monday, the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association struck back with a suit of its own, filing a petition against the contractors who "improperly" and "fraudulently" certified the MCM Elegante Hotel in Beaumont to TWIA regulations.
The suit names MRCO Inc., Titan Services and Hospitality Construction Services as defendants.
