Wambolt v. West Bend Mutual Insurance Co. (2008)
From Judgepedia
Justice Gableman was REVERSED by the District III Court of Appeals, which held that he committed error in dismissing an injured plaintiff’s case against another motorist’s insurance company. The Appellate Court held that Justice Gableman erred in applying Minnesota, rather thanWisconsin law, where the accident happened in Wisconsin, the victim was Minnesota, and the driver who struck the vehicle was from Wisconsin. The Appellate Court further held that Justice Gableman should have applied Wisconsin law since “we conclude the better rule of law is to enforce contracts that provide insurance coverage and compensate tort victims.”
