Paxton Files Suit Against Private VA Claims Company

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit seeking damages and, ultimately, a permanent injunction against the Austin-based company VA Claims Insider. Paxton’s complaint charges that VA Claims Insider inaccurately promotes certain services as “free” before locking veterans into contracts that demand exorbitant sums – including for potentially illegal services or assistance it doesn’t provide. The state is accusing the company of requiring that veterans pay six times the amount of any disability increase they receive.
