- 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
Directory coverage for Wisconsin is expanding
We don’t have listings here yet — coverage grows state by state rather than all at once. Burn and fire cases are routinely handled across state lines, so attorneys listed elsewhere in the region may still be able to help.
