Re: Legal Liability
In Wisconsin, there is normally a three year statute of limitations for adults when making a claim for injuries. That means that you must either settle the claims or commence a lawsuit within three years from the date of the act which caused the injuries. For minors, they would usually have until their 20th birthdays. Having handled numerous cases against a number of national drug store chains for injuries caused by incorrect medications, these are normally handled by third party administrator claims companies for the chains, in that the chains are generally self-insured, and the third party administrator claims companies are normally located out of state.
