Nelson v. Zeimetz
Court of Appeals of Wisconsin
1Opinion of the CourtScott, C.J.
Dairyland Insurance Company (Dairyland) and Protective Insurance Company (Protec tive) appeal from an order which granted the plaintiffs' motion to strike the insurance companies' defense of non-permissive use of a vehicle. Dairyland and Protective raise a number of issues regarding part of Wisconsin's safety responsibility law, sec. 344.15, Stats. We conclude that Dairyland, as insurer of the operator of the vehicle, is not subject to estoppel under sec. 344.15(5), and therefore we reverse the order as to it. We also reverse the order as to Protective for evidentiary reasons.
