Description
This suit was brought in the 129th District Court of Harris County, Texas, by Erma Gene Perry, guardian of Lonnie Perry, a minor, appellant against Aetna Life Insurance Company, appellee. This suit was predicated on an insurance policy being Group Accidental Death and Dismemberment Policy No. LL-60,615. Aetna Life Insurance Company had previously paid $7,500.00 to Erma Gene Perry as Guardian of Lonnie Perry under Group Life Policy No. 60,615.
