Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Representing Appellant: Stephen R. Winship of Winship & Winship, P.C., Casper, Wyoming.

Representing Appellee: Julie Nye Tiedeken of McKellar, Tiedeken & Scoggins, LLC, Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Before VOIGT, C.J., and GOLDEN, HILL, KITE, and BURKE, JJ.


HILL, Justice.

[¶ 1] Joseph Harper, the husband of Appellant Gail Harper, bought a life insurance policy and died within two months of doing so. Fidelity and Guaranty Life Insurance Company refused to pay the claim because they insisted that Mr. Harper "misrepresented/omitted" the state of his health in the claim application. Mrs. Harper filed suit, the district court granted summary judgment in favor of Fidelity, and this appeal followed.
