Ranges vary by claim type. Confirm the date that applies to you with a participating attorney.

Local context
Wisconsin Injury Law at a Glance
Wisconsin uses modified comparative fault. When your fault exceeds 51 percent, many injury claims can be barred. Winter road conditions and I-94 crashes are frequent local matters.
Many injury lawsuits are discussed within a three-year period. Government claims may require earlier notice. Talk to a Wisconsin attorney to confirm your filing date.
Issues that often come up in Wisconsin reviews
01
Winter driving and I-94
Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay reviews include ice-related wrecks and I-94 or I-43 collisions. Visibility and road-treatment arguments appear often.
02
Government notice
Government claims can require faster notice than a three-year injury range. Ask a Wisconsin attorney to confirm your date.
03
Family and DUI
Submitting a form does not start a circuit court case and does not create an attorney-client relationship. A participating lawyer can review family or DUI facts.
