Description
Linda Larson and her insurer, General Casualty of Wisconsin, defendants in a personal injury action brought by two-year-old
plaintiff, Todd Tasker, appeal a summary judgment dismissing their third-party contribution claim against American Family
Insurance Company, which insured the pickup truck belonging to Todd's father. Mr. Tasker, after instructing his children to
remain in the truck, walked forty-five to fifty feet away, briefly attending to a minnow trap in a nearby stream at the time
of the mishap. Todd, left in the parked truck with his four-year-old brother, was injured after the youngster was either nudged
or stepped out of the truck onto the highway where he was struck by the oncoming Larson vehicle. The circuit court held that
Mr. Tasker's American Family auto liability coverage for injuries "due to the use of [an insured] car" was not applicable
under the facts related. We conclude that coverage exists and reverse the summary judgment. In response to Todd's lawsuit, Larson and General Casualty commenced a third-party action for contribution against Mr. Tasker
and American Family. Following discovery, the circuit court granted American Family summary judgment as to its liability under
both its homeowner and automobile liability policies. Larson and General Casualty appeal only that part of the summary judgment
dismissing American Family under the auto policy.
