Oregon woman sues life insurance company over claim

Category Insurance | Saturday, March 13th, 2010

The wife of a Eugene man who died in a kitchen accident is suing his life insurance company. Michele Vinson says the company is refusing to pay because David Vinson had been drinking that day.

She is seeking $1.3 million from Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Co.

Her husband was home alone last April when he apparently dropped a domed glass cake cover. A sharp edge severed a main artery in his left foot and the 68-year-old man bled to death.

The Oregon medical examiner’s office listed a single cause of death: a sharp force foot injury that caused Vinson to bleed out.
