| Case Name | Transcontinental Insurance Co. v. Crump | |
|---|---|---|
| Date | 08/26/2008 | |
| Note | Because there was no common law action to recover attorney's fees under a common law negligence claim, we conclude a claim for attorney's fees brought pursuant to section 408.221 is not an action or analogous action that was tried to a jury in 1876. | |
