MARY C. TEBBETS, Appellant, v. FIDELITY AND CASUALTY COMPANY OF NEW YORK, (a Corporation), Respondent, 155 Cal. 137

Summary

Plaintiff appealed decision of the lower court, which entered judgment in favor of defendant, in action brought by plaintiff to recover under husband's life insurance policy. The court affirmed and held that denial of claim was valid. Policy required proof of death of insured to be furnished within two months after its occurrence, and legal proceedings for recovery had to commence within six months from time of death. Plaintiff did not bring action until more than six months after her husband's death. The court held that condition in policy was valid, and the time limit was not unreasonable.
