Gilbert Hunt, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Hospital Service Plan of New Jersey and Medical-Surgical Plan of New Jersey…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the trial court, holding that the exclusionary clauses in the hospital service and medical‑surgical insurance policies do not apply because the medical expenses were not "compensable" under the Workmen’s Compensation Act, and remanded for entry of judgments in favor of the plaintiff for the stipulated amounts.
