Underwriters Insurance Company v. William Groner
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided March 14, 1963 · Tuttle, Woodbury, Bell
314 F.2d 338; 1963 U.S. App. LEXIS 5863 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Underwriters Insurance Company v. William Groner

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

It appearing that the trial was conducted by both parties on the assumption that a hurricane occurred on the night that the insured house was destroyed, we conclude that there was sufficient evidence submitted to the jury to warrant its finding that the damage was occasioned by windstorm and not from an excepted cause. We likewise conclude that the question of fraud was one for the jury, and that the fraud issue was adequately presented to the jury by the court’s charge.

The judgment is

Affirmed.
