He had a $15,000 disability policy with Western National Life Insurance Co. of Texas, and at first the company agreed to pay him $150 a month for at least two years. Then it reversed itself and stopped payments on grounds that his injury was really an illness. Wearing a brace, Korean War Veteran Fletcher went to court to ask for $50,000 as compensation and $1,000,000 in punitive damages under the outrage law. The jury...
