Legal Question in Personal Injury in Wisconsin

You would have been better off pleading no contest, so if there is a way to re-open the plea and change it from guilty to no-contest, that would be best. The no contest plea is considered by the Criminal Court as the same as a guilty plea, but the guilty plea could be used against your son as an admission in a civil case. To be sued, your son will generally have to be served with a Summons and Complaint, so he should know that he has been sued. I suspect that a lawsuit has not been started yet if the other person is still recieving treatment for his injuries. Your son will certainly have a right to know the injuries and the extent of the treatment. I would suggest that your son consider consulting with an attorney prior to being sued, as the attorney may be able to work something out with the other party and his attorney, and depending on your son's age and financial condition, an attorney may be able to provide some guidance and provide information to resolve any claim.
