Right of Insurance Company to Dissect
Body of Insured
A policy of accident insurance contained
a clause that ANY medical adviser of the
company should be allowed as often as he
required to examine the person or body of
the assured in respect of the alleged injury
or cause of death" In an action brought by
a widow to recover upon two policies is
sued by the company, whereby the latter
agreed TO insure the deceased husband in
the sum of $4,000 against loss through
external, violent and accidental means,
the insurance company sought to avoid re-
coVery on the policies by reason of the fact
that IL had no notice or knowledge of the
death OF the assured until after his burial
and that within a few days after the in
torment of the body the company demanded
of the executor of the deceased the priv
ilege and opportunity of exhuming and dis
secting the body of the insured, which de-
mand was refused. In the opinion of the
court IL was held that the word exam
inc in the policy, as applied to the hui
man body. either living or dead, would not
include the idea of cutting IL up. If the
company desired the insured person to
agree TO such a proposition there is no
obvious reason why il should not have been
expressed in plain terms. [106 Fed. Rep.
