Legal Question in Personal Injury in Wisconsin

Of course, you always have the right to sue for your damages as well as for a determination of liability. However, this will be time consuming and expensive, so you need to think long and hard about if it is really worth it. Since you have insurance, this quite literally becomes your insurance company's problem, so there is a lot to be said about simply allowing them to do their job. A lawsuit will normally result in a jury determination of fault in terms of percentages of fault, but that would typically be several years away and the expenses of getting to that point will likely run into tens of thousands of dollars. Also be aware that there is a strict four month statutes of limitations in WI to present a claim against any governmental body; failure to comply with this will often lead to dismissal of your case. You therefore are urgently in need of a consultation with an experienced trial attorney. My comments here are for public educational purposes only and are not legal advice specifically tailored to your specific situation. You should therefore retain a lawyer in order to meet your legal needs, or at least schedule a private consultation with one. I am not your attorney and will not be taking any action on your case.
