Legal Question in Personal Injury in Wisconsin

Re: broken wrist

I presume your injury occurred in Wisconsin. Wisconsin has a safe place statute, requiring the operator to keep the premises used by the public in as safe a condition as can reasonable be done. Issues arise as to whether your injury occurred on such premises. Normally slip and fall cases are not great, but your complexity with the cyst may make your case worth the effort of pursuing. I'd suggest you see an attorney who does personal injury work. If you are in southeast Wisconsin, we have a number who do. Good luck!

Slip and Fall Claims in WI, Naturally Occurring Ice Equals No Liability

Generally in WI, the person who falls is deemed to be at fault for injuries caused by slipping and falling on naturally occurring ice rather than the property owner. Businesses are sometimes held to higher standards in areas held out for public use. Exceptions can also occur if the property owner has redirected the natural flow of precipitation through drainage systems. The statute of limitations in WI for most accidental injury claims against private citizens is three years, with far shorter periods (as little as 120 days) if the fall involves property owned by governmental units. You really need to locate your own attorney to fully investigate and evaluate your case. My general comments here are not legal advice, nor do they create any attorney client relationship between us. I do not know nearly enough about the facts of your specific case to advise you.
