• concluding public policy supports lesser standard for bad faith under Rule 13 than under DTPA
• where plaintiff suffered a broken wrist as the result of an accident, jury’s award of zero damages for pain and suffering was against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence
• trial court abuses its discretion in imposing sanctions only if its order is based on an erroneous view of the law or a clearly erroneous assessment of the evidence
