Description

This is a review of a published court of appeals decision 1 that affirmed in part, and reversed in part, a summary judgment
by circuit court Judge Gregory A. Peterson. The circuit court found that Citizen's Security Mutual Insurance Company (Citizens)
breached its duty to defend its insured, Floyd Omann. The judgment awards Floyd's assignees, Robert C. Newhouse and his parents,
over $724,000, representing the amount of an excess judgment against Floyd Omann in an underlying personal injury action. The Newhouses now seek review of that portion of the court of appeals' decision which reversed the circuit court's judgment
awarding them the full amount of the excess judgment against Floyd Omann. The court of appeals held that the measure of damages
for breach of the insurer's duty to defend is the policy limits plus interest together with costs and attorney fees in defending
the suit. The Newhouses also seek review of the portion of the court of appeals' decision affirming the circuit court's summary
judgment dismissing their tort claims, including a claim of bad faith, against Citizens. Citizens seeks cross review of that
part of the court of appeals' decision affirming the circuit court's Conclusion that Citizens breached its duty to defend
its insured. Citizens also seeks cross review of the court of appeals' decision affirming the award of costs and attorney
fees to Floyd Omann and his attorney, Don Paul Novitzke, for Citizens' frivolous third-party claim against them for contribution
and indemnity.
