Supreme Court of Florida
Berg v. New York Life Insurance Company
May 23, 19561956 Fla. LEXIS 4054
Summary
The Supreme Court of Florida affirmed the lower court's decree, holding that the double‑indemnity provisions did not apply because Mr. Berg's death was primarily caused by pre‑existing disease, and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to submit the issue to a jury.
