Description
The major issue presented in this appeal is one which has not previously been addressed by the appellate courts of this state. We are called upon to interpret an exclusionary clause in an accident-health insurance contract which expressly excepts from coverage any loss occurring or originating while the insured is intoxicated. The question presented is whether such a clause is applicable where the event which produced death or loss is not in any sense causally connected with the intoxication. We affirm the summary judgment of the trial court, determining as a matter of law that such an exclusionary clause does not preclude coverage where the loss and the alleged intoxication are entirely unrelated.
