Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company v. Barbara Pusser et al., Case No. 2018-1137
Seventh District Court of Appeals (Mahoning County)

ISSUES:
- Does an insurance policy sufficiently warn the insured of the consequences of a misstatement that is a "warranty" when the policy states that it "may be held void ab initio," or back to the date of inception, for such misstatements?
- Is an insurer required to void a policy and return an insured's premium before filing for declaratory judgment in court?
