Insurance — homeowners policies — valued policy law
After their home was damaged by a fire, Cole and Ashley Behrndt sued Austin Mutual Insurance Company, alleging they were entitled to the face value of their homeowners insurance policy because their property was a total loss under the valued policy law, Wis. Stat. § 632.05(2). The circuit court granted summary judgment in favor of Austin Mutual. On appeal, the Behrndts argue Austin Mutual is not entitled to summary judgment because their house was a total loss and because Austin Mutual should be equitably estopped from arguing their property was not a total loss. We conclude summary judgment was properly granted in favor of Austin Mutual. This opinion will not be published.
