A Rio Grande Valley, Texas, attorney is awaiting a decision from a multidistrict litigation panel on whether it will consolidate scores of lawsuits where plaintiffs allege Allstate Insurance Co. unlawfully reduced coverage.

Jason Palker, founder of a boutique law firm in Edinburg with seven attorneys, began accumulating clients in 2022 based on similar claims regarding Allstate’s alleged failure to provide a notice required by the Texas Insurance Code.
