Statute of Limitations in Wisconsin

The Wisconsin Statutes, Chapter 893, imposes strict time limits on how long an injured person has to file a civil lawsuit. These limitations are called statutes of limitations. For most personal injury cases, the statute of limitations is three years from the time of the injury. For cases involving death arising from automobile accidents, the statute of limitations is only two years. Because a different statute of limitations may apply depending upon the specific type of case, it is very important to contact an experienced law firm as soon as possible to determine the applicable statute of limitations and to make sure that the deadline is not missed. The process of bringing a lawsuit against a negligent party that will be successful at trial requires gathering and preserving evidence, interviewing witnesses, and calling upon professional resources such as accident investigators, medical experts, and financial experts. It is important that the process is initiated as early as possible.
