In the ongoing multidistrict litigation brought on by Winter Storm Uri, a Texas electric power company is attempting to prove breach of contract by Hartford Underwriters Insurance Co. for refusing to represent it in wrongful death lawsuits.

Reed Smith, the law firm for Golden Spread Electric Cooperative, expects to show the court that the insurer failed to act according to the terms of the policy, according to a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Galveston Division.
