Continental Casualty Company v. Audie Warren

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Civil Appeals, holding that the pilot‑employee who died in an aircraft crash was an "insured person" under the employer’s airplane‑accident policy and therefore covered. The Court applied the rule that ambiguities in insurance contracts are resolved against the insurer. Justice Griffin’s dissent argued the opposite, contending that the term “passenger” excludes the pilot.
