How Wisconsin law treats burn-injury claims

Shared fault

Wisconsin applies modified comparative fault with a 51% bar: recovery survives so long as the injured person's negligence is not greater than that of the party they are suing.

Wis. Stat. § 895.045(1)

Damage caps

Wisconsin places no cap on non-economic damages in ordinary injury cases against private defendants. Total damages against a governmental body, however, are capped at $50,000.

Wis. Stat. § 893.80(3)

Claims against government

Wisconsin requires written notice within 120 days of the event. The entity then has 120 days to disallow the claim, after which suit must follow within six months.

Wis. Stat. § 893.80
