Statutory research reviewed 2026-08-14. Not legal advice.

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.

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.
