Hart v. Nationwide Mutual Ins. Co.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District
Oct 8, 1963
156 So. 2d 668 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1963)

Opinion

No. 63-11.

October 8, 1963.

Appeal from Civil Court of Record for Dade County; J. Gwynn Parker, Judge.

James C. Shepherd, Coconut Grove, for appellant.

Dixon, DeJarnette, Bradford, Williams, McKay Kimbrell and John W. Thornton, Miami, for appellee.

Before HORTON, TILLMAN PEARSON, and HENDRY, JJ.


By this appeal the appellant, who was plaintiff in the trial court, seeks a reversal of a summary final judgment for the defendant. The judgment was based upon the conclusion of the trial judge that appellant's claims for medical payments were not covered by the medical payments provisions of a policy of insurance issued by defendant. We have examined the provisions of the policy in the light of the circumstances of plaintiff's injury and hold that the trial judge correctly construed the provisions of the policy under which claim was made. Cf., Merchants Co. v. Hartford Acc. Indem. Co., 187 Miss. 301, 188 So. 571, 192 So. 566 (1939); Henderson v. Hawkeye-Security Ins. Co., 252 Iowa 97, 106 N.W.2d 86 (1960).

Affirmed.
