Hayes v. American Standard Insurance Co.

SHRUM, Judge.

The issue in this case is whether a deceased child, reared by plaintiff Marvin Hayes as his own although not related to him by blood, marriage, or formal adoption, was covered under the uninsured motorist provisions of two automobile insurance policies issued by the defendant, American Standard Insurance Company of Wisconsin, to Marvin.1 The trial court found there was coverage, and American Standard appeals. We conclude that the child is Marvin’s “foster child” and the policies provide coverage. We affirm.
