Wisconsin Statute of Limitations on Personal Injury Cases

Statutes of limitations are laws that limit the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit.  There are deadlines for many different types of cases, including personal injury claims.  In Wisconsin, the general rule is that you have three years to file a personal injury lawsuit following your personal injury accident. This includes injuries from car accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, and truck and motorcycle accidents.

Generally, the Wisconsin Statute of Limitations is Three Years 

It must be noted that while the general rule is you must settle or file a lawsuit within three years of the date of the accident/injury there are many exceptions. That is why it is important to contact a Wisconsin personal injury attorney as soon as possible after an accident to understand your rights.
