Texas Supreme Court

Norma Jean Glover, Petitioners v. National Insurance Underwriters, Respondent

January 12, 197720 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 150

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the pilot, William O. Rogers, was properly rated for the flight because the flight began under VFR conditions, so the insurer's pilot warranty exclusion did not apply and coverage was required. The Court reversed the Court of Civil Appeals and affirmed the trial court's judgment in favor of the plaintiffs, while a dissent argued the opposite.
