Description
Appellees, Richard E. Franklin and his wife, Doris, brought this suit against appellant National Life and Accident Insurance Company (the Company). The Company issued two policies on the life of Larry w. Fife, the son of Doris Franklin by a former marriage. The two policies, one issued in 1962 and one issued in 1966, provide a death benefit plus an additional accidental death benefit. Doris Franklin is the beneficiary under both policies. The basic benefits have been paid, and this suit concerns only the accidental death benefits. In addition, appellees sued for the statutory twelve percent penalty and attorneys fees under TEX.INS.CODE.ANN. art. 3.62 (1963). Trial was to a jury on special issues, and judgment based on the jury verdict was entered for appellees.
