Where an insurer agreed in a settlement with a hospital to pay the medical bills of its insured but then rescinded the policy based on a finding of a misrepresentation of the insured’s medical history, the District Court did not err in awarding the full settlement amount to the hospital because the insurer bore the risk of a mistake. Judgment is affirmed.
