Case No.: 2015AP1018
Officials: Kloppenburg, P.J., Higginbotham and Sherman, JJ.
Focus: Wrongful Death – Statutory Notice – Summary Judgment
Audrey Collis, Dustin Pickard and the Estate of Clarence Collis appeal a summary judgment order dismissing their wrongful death action against the Hazel Green Rescue Squad, Inc., Ryan Fields and Tri Cor, Inc. The Estate contends that the circuit court erred by granting summary judgment to Hazel Green based on the Estate’s failure to provide timely statutory notice of its claim. It argues that it was not required to provide notice of its claim because, it asserts, the Hazel Green Rescue Squad is not a political corporation or governmental subdivision or agency. For the reasons set forth below, we disagree. We affirm.
