WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis (WSAU) A court ruling clears the way for an unusual lawsuit after a car crash in Wisconsin Rapids. A man can sue over the death of an unborn fetus.
The fetus was stillborn after the man's girlfriend was involved in a car crash in Wisconsin Rapids. The would-be father is suing his girlfriend's insurance company.
The boyfriend, Shannon Tesar, filed an emotional-distress lawsuit against American Family Insurance. Initially the case was thrown out by a Wood County judge. Yesterday the lawsuit was reinstated by the 4th District Court of Appeals. The case may be appealed to the state supreme court.
