How courts have described this case

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

• stating that because the medical profession classifies an aneurysm as an unhealthy condition, aneurysms constitute a disease or illness within the meaning of the insurance policy
• rejecting insurer’s argument that “caused or contributed to” language excludes illnesses contributing to the accident but not the death
• finding the exclusion did not apply when an aneurism caused a person to lose consciousness, fall in the shower, and drown, because “the aneurysm may have contributed to the accident, but it did not contribute to the death”
