Discuss Denial of Claims from Storm Damage
Mr. Dennis Tweedale of the League of Wisconsin Municipalities Mutual
Insurance (LWMMI) and Mr. Rick Kalscheuer of R & R Insurance were present.
Mr. Tweedale provided a brief history regarding “No Fault Sewer Backup”
Insurance. The coverage has been available since 1994. It pays $100,000 per
occurrence with a maximum of three per year. If a municipality has the No Fault
Insurance, coverage is provided for those situations where a backup occurs, but
there is no liability on the part of the insured. There could be coverage under a
municipality’s liability insurance, if negligence is found.
Mr. Tweedale stated that he never had a situation where the $100,000 coverage
was not sufficient until 2008. LWMMI currently has 345 members and
approximately one third have the No Fault coverage. Some municipalities do not
believe in having the No Fault coverage because they feel if you go down that
path, where do you stop? One of the problems with the coverage is who does the
adjusting? A homeowner’s policy pays on a replacement cost basis. actual cash
value basis
