Supreme Court of New Jersey

Louis Mazzilli, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Accident & Casualty Insurance Company of Winterthur, Switzerland…

May 8, 196135 N.J. 1

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division's judgment that Mrs. Selger was a resident of the household under the liability insurance policy, making the insurer liable for the judgment against her. The Court reached this conclusion by interpreting the policy's household language liberally and finding that the spouses, though not under the same roof, lived on the same tract and maintained a family relationship.
