Legal Question in Personal Injury in Wisconsin

If you do nothing to defend yourself, a default judgment would be granted in the amount demanded. You will then get some financial disclosure forms, regarding which which you must cooperate or face possible contempt of court (or even jail). If you are not working and have no bank accounts or other assets, however, there may not be much else that they can do to you until you get a job or some assets, at which time they might try to go after your wages or other assets. A bankruptcy would end all this once you have something to lose. Before then, however, it may not be worth the expense of even filing one.
