Continental Casualty Co. v. Warren

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• when language in policy is subject to more than one reasonable construction, court must apply interpretation which favors insured and permits recovery
• “[T]hese rules of construction will be applied only when the language of the policy is such that it may reasonably be given one of several constructions.”
• “the mere word ‘passenger’ 2 cannot be said to exclude the pilot” because “common parlance 3 undoubtedly uses it at times in the sense of ‘occupant’ of a 4 private vehicle, as in the familiar expression ‘a six-passenger 5 automobile’”
