Wildin v. American Family Mutual Insurance
Court of Appeals of Wisconsin

1Opinion of the Court
VERGERONT, RJ.
¶ 1. This appeal concerns the interpretation of insurance policy language governing the insurer's obligation to pay for damage to its insured's vehicle. Pat Wildin, the insured, contends that the circuit court erred in holding that the language in her American Family Mutual Insurance policy plainly permitted American Family to pay only for repairs to her vehicle, even if the repairs could not fully restore the vehicle to its pre-collision value. We conclude the circuit court was correct. We therefore affirm the court's order dismissing the complaint.
