WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: 1st Auto & Casualty Insurance Company v. A.P., et al.,
Case No.: 2020AP1745
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Nashold, JJ.
Focus: Insurance Claim – Coverage
Amy was sexually assaulted by Cody Triebs inside the cab of Triebs’ pickup truck and on the truck’s tailgate. At issue in this appeal is whether insurance policies issued by 1st Auto & Casualty Insurance Company and Progressive Universal Insurance Company provide uninsured motorist (UM) coverage for Amy’s injuries. The circuit court granted summary judgment to 1st Auto and Progressive, concluding their respective policies do not provide UM coverage because Amy’s injuries from the sexual assault did not arise out of the ownership, maintenance, or use of an uninsured motor vehicle. We agree and affirm.
