Boyd v. Pennsylvania National Mutual Casualty Insurance Co.
195 So. 2d 259 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1967
The circumstances in this case were of such a nature that a reasonably prudent person would know that an accidental death might have occurred. Appellant’s failure to notify her insurer that the death had occurred, until some eight months later, was a breach of the contract of insurance that relieves the insurer of liability. State Farm Mutual Automobile Ins. Co. v. Ranson, Fla.App.1960, 121 So.2d 175; Morton v. Indemnity Insurance Co. of North America, Fla.App.1962, 137 So.2d 618; Employers Casualty Company v. Vargas, Fla.App. 1964, 159 So.2d 875; American Fire and Casualty Company v. Collura, Fla.App. 1964, 163 So.2d 784.
There being no other material questions raised by appellant, the judgment of the court below is affirmed.
