Simon v. American Casualty Co‪.‬

This is a declaratory judgment action instituted by the appellee, American Casualty Company of Reading, Pennsylvania, herein referred to as the plaintiff, against John Simon, administrator of the estate of Gerald Martin Simon, deceased, appellant, and others, herein referred to as the defendants. The object of the action was to ascertain whether a certain policy of liability insurance, which had been issued by the plaintiff to one David G. Morris, one of the defendants below, upon a dump truck owned by said Morris, covered Morris liability in connection with an accident in which the truck was involved. The accident resulted in the death of Gerald M. Simon and the injury to one Motter, both being guest riders in the truck. Two actions for damages against Morris were instituted in the State Court.
