Brunson v. Ward, 2001 WI 89
N/A
OUTCOME:
In Wisconsin, underinsured motorist policies written in the amount of $25,000 have been held to be illusory contracts, and case law has required insurers to pay damages, up to the $25,000 limit of any ...such policy, as a remedy for the issuance of an illusory contract. Meyer v. Classified Ins. Co., 192 Wis. 2d 463, 468, 531 N.W.2d 416 (Ct. App. 1995); see also Kaun v. Indust. Fire & Cas. Ins. Co., 148 Wis. 2d 662, 670, 436 N.W.2d 321 (1989); Hoglund v. Secura Ins., 176 Wis. 2d 265, 270-71, 500 N.W.2d 354 (Ct. App. 1993). The question in this case is the continued viability of this judicially-created remedy in light of a subsequent legislative one a statute requiring underinsured motorist (UIM) policies to provide at least $50,000 in coverage where the policy in question contains a clause conforming the policy to the requirements of state statute.
