What is a motion to set aside a judgment in an insurance litigation case?

A motion to set aside a judgment in an insurance litigation case is a legal tool used to ask the court to reverse or void a judgment that has already been issued. The motion can be filed by either party involved in the case and is used to challenge the court’s decision or to argue that the judgment should be overturned. In Texas, the party filing the motion is known as the movant and must provide evidence that the court made a mistake when it issued the original judgment or that the judgment is somehow void or invalid. This evidence can include written documents, witness testimony, or other evidence demonstrating that the judgment was wrong. For example, if the court issues a judgment ordering an insurance company to pay a certain sum to a claimant but the court does not take into account the evidence presented by the insurance company, the insurance company may file a motion to set aside the judgment and challenge the court’s decision. It is important to note that, in Texas, the motion to set aside a judgment must be filed within 30 days of the original judgment being issued. If the movant does not file the motion within this time frame, it is unlikely that the court will grant the motion.
