Toole v. National Life Insurance Co. of the United States

This action was brought to-recover upon a life insurance policy which called for the payment of five thousand dollars in case of the death of the insured, and carried a rider providing for double indemnity in case of death by accident. The cause was tried to the court without a jury, and resulted in a judgment in favor of the plaintiff in the sum of $5,-488.05, but no recovery was allowed upon the double indemnity provision.
