United States Sixth Circuit

Where a question exists as to whether an insured died solely of a fat embolism due to a fractured femur sustained in a car accident, insurer's argument that pre-existing conditions caused insured's death should go to a jury; objection to admission of insurer's expert testimony must be considered on remand.
