WAUKESHA - The family of a teen killed
in a car crash in 2003 has lost their appeal seeking to hold their
insurer liable for compensation in his death.
The District II Court of Appeals on Wednesday ruled that Brian
Zillmer, 17, did not have permission to use the car in the crash,
and thus his mother’s insurer was not liable for uninsured
motorist coverage.
Ernest Zillmer, Cynthia Zillmer and the estate of Brian Zillmer
sued Cynthia Zillmer’s insurer, American Family Mutual Insurance
Group, seeking compensation.
