18-CV-354 Williams v. Farmers New World Life Insurance Company

Decision and Order

A jury rejected Farmers New World Life Insurance Co.’s rescission defense and awarded Joyce Williams $100,000 in damages for Farmers’s breach of a life insurance contract. The court rejected Williams’s post-verdict motion that she was entitled to the $150,000 face value of the policy in addition to the $100,000 in damages. The court also rejected Williams’s argument that she was entitled to attorney fees, expert witness fees, and interest.

Decision and Order Granting Motion to Dismiss

If presented with the question, the Wisconsin Supreme Court would likely hold that an insurer cannot, under a theory of unjust enrichment, seek reimbursement from its insured for the costs it expended defending a claim for which the policy did not provide coverage.
