Markoff v. New York Life Insurance Company

Supreme Court of Nevada
Jul 10, 1972
497 P.2d 904 (Nev. 1972)

Opinion

No. 6645

June 6, 1972 Rehearing denied July 10, 1972

Appeal from Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; George F. Wright, Judge.

Wiener, Goldwater, Galatz Raggio and R. Gardner Jolley, of Las Vegas, for Appellant.

Breen, Young, Whitehead Hoy, of Reno, for Respondent.


OPINION


Markoff brought suit to recover monthly benefits for total disability claimed to be due under an income protection disability policy issued by New York Life Insurance Company. The district court barred recovery and entered judgment for New York Life since false statements in Markoff's application for insurance were found to have intentionally been made, were relied upon by the company and materially affected the acceptance of the risk and the hazard assumed. NRS 692.040(3). Although we do not have a complete transcript of the evidence, it is apparent from the partial record before us that this finding is amply supported and we may not tamper with it. Other assigned errors are without substance.

Affirmed.
