What is the appeal from a declaratory judgment for plaintiff and cross-defendant in a motor vehicle accident action?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Atlantic Nat. Ins. Co. v. Armstrong, 416 P.2d 801, 52 Cal.Rptr. 569, 65 Cal.2d 100 (Cal. 1966):

Defendants and cross-complainants appeal from a declaratory judgment for plaintiff and cross-defendants in an action to determine the rights of the parties under an insurance policy. The primary issue is whether an insurer is permitted to exclude from a motor vehicle liability policy coverage for injuries sustained by occupants of the insured automobile. We have concluded that such an exclusion is contrary to the publice policy set forth in Wildman v. Government Employees' Ins. Co. (1957) 48 Cal.2d 31, 307 P.2d 359, and that plaintiff is obligated under the policy to satisfy any judgment which the heirs of decedent may recover for his fatal injuries against the driver of the insured automobile.
