Description
Following an occupational injury, appellant Donna Roskey asserted a claim for workers compensation benefits. Subsequently, she sued appellees Continental Casualty Company, RSKCo Services, Inc., RSKCo Cost Management Services, Inc., RSKCo Consulting Services, Inc., Machelle Davidson, Margie Kling, Carol Schellenberg, and Steve Wilson for personal injury damages. She alleged her personal injury damages arose out of appellees statutory and common-law bad faith in: (a) denying compensability of her injuries, (b) delaying approval of her necessary medical treatment, and (c) delaying payment of her workers compensation indemnity benefits. Appellees filed a plea to the jurisdiction, alleging that primary jurisdiction over disputed medical benefits lies with the Texas Workers Compensation Commission and that Roskey failed to exhaust her administration remedies with regard to medical preauthorization disputes. The trial court granted the plea to the jurisdiction and dismissed all of Roskeys claims for want of jurisdiction.
