U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 02-3934
District of Minnesota
Civil case - Insurance. Deceased insured's voluntary intoxication did
not render his death a self-inflicted injury under the accidental death
policy issued by defendant, and the estate was entitled to collect double
indemnity benefits; the panel adopts the test set forth in a First Circuit
case - Wickman v. Northwestern Nat'l Ins. Co., 908 F.2d 1077 (1st Cir.
1990) - to determine whether a death is accidental.
