Travelers Preferred Accident Ass'n v. McKinney
Appellate Court of Illinois
Memorandum.—Assumpsit on an accident policy. Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. Edmund W. Burke, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the October term, 1894.
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Shepard
This suit was to recover for a disability suffered by appellee under the terms of a policy against accident issued to him by the appellant.
The case presents unusual and interesting questions, which, except for one error, so serious as to demand a reversal, it would be pleasurable and, possibly, profitable to discuss, but which a remanding of the cause for another trial makes fin-necessary and, perhaps, improper.
The accident occurred at Mew Berne, Morth Carolina, and consisted in, or arose from, the swallowing of a piece of fractured beef bone by appellee when eating soup at dinner.
