No. 83-791
Before NESBITT, DANIEL S. PEARSON and JORGENSON, JJ.
452 So. 2d 1052 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1984) Positive Treatment
Cited by 5 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Because the unrebutted evidence is that Mrs. Leichter misrepresented her prior medical history when applying for insurance coverage from Wisconsin National and such misrepresentation was material to the acceptance of the risk, see § 627.409, Fla.Stat. (1981), we reverse the judgment under review and direct the trial court to enter a directed verdict for the appellant. See Life Insurance Co. of Virginia v. Shifflet, 201 So. 2d 715 (Fla.1967).

Reversed and remanded with directions.
