Wisconsin Supreme Court
Kremers-Urban Company, a Wisconsin Corporation, Plaintiff-Respondent, and Cross-Appellant v. American Employers…
June 29, 1984119 Wis. 2d 722
Summary
The court held that the pre-1968 liability policies covered DES-related claims when ingestion by a pregnant mother or the insured's marketing activities occurred during the policy period, even if the resulting injury manifested later. The post-1968 policies instead required an allegation that bodily injury, sickness, or disease resulted during the policy period. The court also held that attorney's fees were not recoverable in the insured's declaratory-judgment action because the governing statute authorized costs but did not expressly authorize attorney's fees.
